  • 4 tablespoons butter plus a little more for your hands
  • 1 package (10 ounces) mini marshmallows
  • 7 cups popped popcorn about 1/4 cup kernels

  • Add the marshmallows to the pan and stir until they're completely melted. Turn off the heat.
  • Pour the popcorn into the pot and stir well to coat all the kernels.
  • When the popcorn mixture is cool enough to handle, rub a little butter on your hands, grab a handful, and gently pat it into a ball.
  • Set the ball on a plate and repeat with the remaining popcorn until it's all used.
  • Eat right away!
  • To save them for later, let the balls cool completely, then wrap each one in plastic wrap.
