Notes
- Butter: I use salted butter in this recipe.
- Marshmallows: Mini or regular marshmallows will work.
- Popcorn: Be sure to pick out any kernels before using. Any type of plain popcorn - air-popped, microwave, etc., will work.
- Oreo cookie crumbs: I use about half of a 10 ounce package. I like to use the cookies with dark chocolate filling. They give a darker coating for the popcorn balls.
