Ingredients

cooking spray
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
0.5 cup unpopped popcorn
6 tablespoons butter
5 cups miniature marshmallows

Instructions

Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
Heat oil in a 4-quart saucepan over high heat. Add popcorn kernels, cover, and cook until popping stops, shaking occasionally. Remove from heat and pour popcorn into the prepared dish.
Melt butter in a medium saucepan over low heat. Stir in marshmallows and cook until melted and smooth.
Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn. Use a spoon to mix thoroughly, ensuring even coating.
Let the mixture cool slightly until you can handle it. Spray your hands with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Shape the popcorn into 8 equal-sized balls.
