Popcorn Balls

Printer-friendly version

Ingredients

  • 6 cups popcorn - microwave or stove top
  • 16 large marshmallows
  • 2 Tbsp butter or margarine
  • 3/4 Tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tsp sprinkles - colors of the sports team would be great!
  • Pam

Instructions

  1. Make your popcorn or scoop out 6 cups of popcorn into a large bowl.
  2. In a greased pot or large saucepan melt your butter on low heat. When it has melted, add 16 marshmallows and stir until melted with a rubber spatula. Spraying your spatula with cooking spray is very helpful! Once melted, remove from heat and add your vanilla.
  3. Pour marshmallow mixture over your popcorn. Mix with spatula until evenly coated. Sprinkle in your colored sprinkles.
  4. With greased hands, roll your popcorn balls. I can usually get 8 decently sized popcorn balls (think palm size).
  5. Once balls are formed, place onto a piece of wax paper and let cool and set for 1 hour.
