Notes
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.
