MARSHMALLOW POPCORN BALLS RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 300°F. Remove any unpopped kernels from popcorn. Place popcorn in a shallow baking pan or roasting pan; keep warm in oven.
• In an 8-quart pot heat butter over medium-low heat until melted. Add marshmallows. Cook, stirring frequently, until melted. Stir in sea salt and a few drops red food coloring until light pink.
• Add popcorn to marshmallow mixture; stir gently to coat. Let cool until easy to handle. With buttered hands, quickly shape mixture into twelve 3-inch-diameter balls. Add sprinkles to coat. If desired, sprinkle with additional sea salt. Let stand until cool. Wrap each in plastic wrap. Store in an airtight container at room temperature up to 2 days or freeze up to 3 months.

Steps:

• Put the popped popcorn in a large bowl or pan; set aside.
• In large microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter on high until butter is melted, about 30-45 seconds.
• Add marshmallows.
• Microwave on high until marshmallows look puffy, about 1 to 1-1/2 minutes.
• Stir to completely melt marshmallows. Add food coloring if using.
• Now pour melted marshmallows over the popcorn and mix carefully until the popcorn is coated.
• Butter your hands to protect them from the heat and shape into balls.
• Wrap each ball in plastic wrap until ready to eat!
