Salty-Sweet Popcorn Balls

salty-sweet popcorn balls

what’s poppin’

Ingredients:

• 1 bag microwave popcorn (I used light butter and salt but you can use any kind!)

• 10 oz marshmallows

• 1/4 cup unsalted butter

• 1 cup pretzels, crushed

• Peanut or plain m&m’s (optional or candy of choice)

Preparation:

1. Microwave the popcorn according to package direction and set aside.

2. In a large pot over low heat, add the marshmallows and butter and cook, stirring, until melted.

3. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl and shake so the un-popped kernels fall to the bottom.

4. Add the popcorn to the marshmallow mixture.

5. Add the crushed pretzels and stir in to combine.

6. spray your hands with cooking spray to prevent sticking and grab about 1/2 cup - 1 cup of the popcorn.

7. Shape into balls by squeezing between your hands, be gentle to not crush the popcorn!

8. Press the M&M's onto the outside of the popcorn ball. (If you mix them in too early they will melt!)

9. Enjoy!
