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!

- Do not overcook the marshmallow mixture. If the mixture is overcooked, it will be too thick and difficult to work with.
- Work quickly. The marshmallow mixture will start to set quickly, so you need to work quickly to form the popcorn balls.
- Use a large bowl. You will need a large bowl to mix the popcorn and marshmallow mixture.
- Have a sheet of parchment paper or a silicone mat ready. You will need to place the popcorn balls on the parchment paper or silicone mat to cool.
