Instructions

- In a small pot, melt the butter over medium low heat. Once it’s fully melted, stir in the marshmallows. Heat on low, stirring often until melted and smooth.
- Pour this mixture over the popcorn and gently stir to coat the popcorn with the mixture.
- Then gently stir in the M&Ms and sprinkles.
- Once the mixture has cooled slightly and is able to be touched, spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray. Working quickly, shape twelve 3-inch popcorn balls.
- Cool completely. Then the popcorn balls are ready to serve and enjoy!
Recipe Notes
Store the popcorn balls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5-7 days.
Make sure that the marshmallow mixture cools slightly once it’s over the popcorn before stirring in the M&Ms and sprinkles as the heat can cause the candies to melt the sprinkles to bleed.
