Forming the Popcorn Balls
- Let the popcorn cool for 2-3 minutes before spraying your hands with pan spray. Pull off the desired amount of popcorn and form into a tight ball. Work quickly, as once the popcorn starts cooling it cools fast.
- As the popcorn balls cool, you can top the caramel ones with flakey sea salt and the peanut butter ones with a drizzle of melted peanut butter if desired.
