Notes
- Butter: I use salted butter. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch or two of salt.
- Marshmallows: Either mini or regular marshmallows.
- Vanilla: The vanilla is optional and adds extra flavor. Another flavor could be used instead to add flavor to the popcorn balls.
- Popcorn: This is about 1 microwave popcorn bag's worth.
- You can press candy pieces into the outside of popcorn balls.
