Method
1. In a large (about 14-inch) non-stick pan, melt butter over low heat. Add marshmallows and melt them, stirring constantly. When melted, add vanilla. Remove pan from heat and let cool 5 min. 2. Pour marshmallow mixture over popped corn. Stir to combine, using a large buttered meat fork. Let cool 5 minutes. 3. Butter hands and shape mixture into balls, about 4 inches in diameter. 4. Let balls set up, about 20 minutes. They can then be wrapped in wax paper or in resealable plastic bags.
Notes: Orange food coloring may be added for Halloween. Caramels may also be added -just melt about 16 squares of caramel in with the marshmallow mixture. If you add caramel, however, you will need to add another package of popped corn. This is also a fun cooking project to do with kids.
Number of Servings: 12
