Ingredients:

Butter
Marshmallows
Popcorn (already popped)
Instructions:

Start by placing a pan on low heat. Add a generous amount of butter and allow it to melt completely. The amount of butter can be adjusted based on the quantity of marshmallows and popcorn you’re using.
Once the butter has melted, add marshmallows to the pan. Stir continuously to ensure the marshmallows melt evenly and mix well with the butter, creating a smooth and sticky mixture.
Quickly, but carefully, add the popped popcorn to the pan. Stir it into the marshmallow mixture, making sure each piece of popcorn is evenly coated. This step should be done quickly to prevent the marshmallow mixture from hardening.
If you choose, lightly oil your hands to prevent sticking (this step is optional but recommended for easier handling). Once the popcorn is fully coated, take small portions of the mixture and shape them as desired. You can make traditional ball shapes or get creative with other forms. Please be cautious as the mixture might still be hot; ensure it’s cool enough to handle safely.
For an extra touch of sweetness and texture, consider adding toppings to your popcorn treats. Drizzle them with melted chocolate, sprinkle with colorful sprinkles, or even dust with powdered sugar for a delightful finish.
Allow your popcorn creations to set for a few minutes until they hold their shape and the marshmallow has cooled.
Enjoy your homemade marshmallow popcorn treats! They make for a perfect snack for gatherings, a special treat for kids, or simply a sweet indulgence for yourself. The blend of fluffy marshmallows with the crispness of popcorn, all rounded off with your choice of toppings, creates a snack that’s not only delicious but also a joy to make.
