Ingredients
  • 1 3 ounce bag of light microwave popcorn (make sure you get one
  • with no diacetyl added. Pop Weaver is a good one.)
  • 1/4 cup of butter
  • 1 10 ounce bag of mini marshmallows
  • Cooking Spray

Directions
  1. Pop the popcorn in the microwave according to instructions on bag. Let cool. Shake the bag so all the un-popped kernels go to the bottom of the bag. Clean out your kitchen sink and dry thoroughly with a clean dry towel. Place stopper in drain. Gently pour the popped popcorn into the sink being careful not to let any un-popped kernels get through.
  2. Melt the butter in a large sauce pan over medium high heat. Stir in the marshmallows. Reduce heat to low and cook for 7 minutes or until the marshmallows have completely melted. Stir frequently.
  3. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and stir to coat the popcorn well. Lightly spray your hands with the cooking spray and take a handful of the popcorn mixture and press into a small ball. Place on a clean surface and repeat above with remaining popcorn mixture. Wrap each popcorn ball in a small section of plastic wrap.
  4. Enjoy!
  5. For the holidays, I use a small amount of food color to match. Orange for Halloween, red or green for Christmas, etc.
  6. You can also add candy corn for Halloween or cinnamon red hearts for Valentine's Day. They're fun to make and the
  7. kids love them.

Love this one! Never cooked anything inside my sink before! How exciting!


LOL! That's funny! Actually, you can put the popcorn in a large bowl. I just put it in the sink because it makes clean up easier. Thanks for the laugh!
