MARSHMALLOW POPCORN BALLS RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:
- Prepare the popcorn (I use 1/2 cup popcorn kernels with 2 tablespoons coconut oil). Place the popcorn into a large bowl, and remove any un-popped kernels. Melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the marshmallows, vanilla and salt. Heat, stirring constantly, until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. Shortcut: I melted all of the ingredients in a microwave (3 to 4 minutes) stirring a couple of times in between. I like to use disposable gloves, sprayed with non-stick spray to easily form the popcorn balls. Allow to set for at least an hour, so the popcorn balls stay stuck together. That's hard to do, as my family gets into them as fast as I can make them!

Tips:
- Use fresh popcorn for the best results. Stale popcorn will not hold its shape as well and will be more likely to crumble.
- Make sure the marshmallows are melted completely before adding them to the popcorn. If the marshmallows are not melted completely, they will not stick to the popcorn and the popcorn balls will fall apart.
- Be careful not to overcook the marshmallows. If the marshmallows are overcooked, they will become tough and chewy.
- Work quickly when forming the popcorn balls. The marshmallows will start to harden as they cool, so you need to work quickly before they become too difficult to handle.
- If you are having trouble forming the popcorn balls, you can wet your hands with water. This will help to prevent the marshmallows from sticking to your hands.
- If you want to make the popcorn balls even more festive, you can add sprinkles, chocolate chips, or other toppings.
Conclusion:
Marshmallow popcorn balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are a great way to use up leftover popcorn, and they are also a fun and festive addition to any party or gathering. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make delicious and festive marshmallow popcorn balls that everyone will love.
