In a large saucepan, melt butter.
¼ cup butter
Add marshmallows, and stir constantly until marshmallows have melted.
10 ounce bag marshmallows
Remove from heat, and stir in vanilla, if using.
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Add popcorn, and fold into marshmallow mixture.
8-9 cups unflavored popped popcorn
When mixture is cool enough to handle, lightly spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray.
Scoop about 1 cup of the popcorn mixture and smoosh it into a ball.
Place on a sheet of waxed paper, parchment paper, or silicone baking mat to cool.

Butter: I use salted butter. If using unsalted butter, add a pinch or two of salt.
Marshmallows: Either mini or regular marshmallows.
Vanilla: The vanilla is optional and adds extra flavor. Another flavor could be used instead to add flavor to the popcorn balls.
Popcorn: This is about 1 microwave popcorn bag's worth.
You can press candy pieces into the outside of popcorn balls.
