Ingredients

5 quarts plain popped popcorn
2.63 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup marshmallows
0.75 cup light corn syrup
0.25 cup margarine
2 teaspoons cold water
cooking spray

Instructions

Put the freshly popped popcorn into a large, heatproof bowl ready for coating.
In a medium saucepan, combine confectioners' sugar, fluffy marshmallows, light corn syrup, creamy butter, and a splash of water over medium heat. Cook and stir frequently until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture starts to gently boil.
Carefully pour the melted marshmallow mixture evenly over the popcorn. Gently stir with a buttered spatula to ensure every piece of popcorn is perfectly coated.
Lightly coat your hands with cooking spray to prevent sticking; swiftly shape the coated popcorn into delightful balls before the mixture cools and hardens.
Wrap each popcorn ball individually in clear plastic wrap or cellophane for freshness; store them at room temperature and enjoy within 1 week.
