Instructions

Marshmallow

  1. Add 2 cups mini marshmallows, 1 tablespoon light corn syrup, and 2 tablespoons unsalted butter to a large pot and heat over medium heat until the marshmallows are melted. Turn off the heat and stir in the 1 dash salt and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Add 8 cups plain popped popcorn and stir until coated. Turn the popcorn onto parchment paper or a heat-proof countertop that has been sprayed with pan spray. Form the popcorn balls as instructed below.

  1. Add 2 cups mini marshmallows, 1 tablespoon light corn syrup, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter to a large pot and heat over medium heat until the marshmallows are melted. Turn off the heat and stir in the 1 dash salt and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Add 8 cups plain popped popcorn and stir until coated. Turn the popcorn onto parchment paper or a heat-proof countertop that has been sprayed with pan spray. Form the popcorn balls as instructed below.

Caramel

  1. Add 1 cup mini marshmallows, 1 tablespoon light corn syrup, 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, and ⅓ cup dark brown sugar to a large pot and heat over medium heat until the marshmallows are melted. Turn off the heat and stir in the 1 dash salt and ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract. Add 8 cups plain popped popcorn and stir until coated. Turn the popcorn onto parchment paper or a heat-proof countertop that has been sprayed with pan spray. Form the popcorn balls as instructed below.

Forming the Popcorn Balls

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
