POPCORN BALL RECIPE WITH MARSHMALLOW FLUFF 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.

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.
