How to Make Microwave Popcorn Marshmallow Balls
- In a large bowl, place 6 cups of popped popcorn. Set aside.
- In a large, microwave-safe bowl, microwave 1/2 cup (1 stick) of unsalted butter on high for 30-45 seconds, or until completely melted.
- Add 10 ounces (about 4 cups) of large marshmallows to the melted butter.
- Microwave on high for 1 to 1 1/2 minutes, or until marshmallows are puffy. Stir gently to combine.
- Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- If desired, add a few drops of food coloring and stir until evenly distributed.
- Gently pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn. Stir carefully until all the popcorn is evenly coated.
- Lightly butter your hands to prevent sticking. Scoop out approximately 1/4 cup of the mixture and roll into balls.
- Wrap each marshmallow popcorn ball in colored plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to set before serving.
