Ingredients

• 0.5 cup Popcorn (unpopped)
• 3 large bars Butterfinger candy bars
• 10 cups Mini marshmallows
• 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Pop the popcorn using your preferred method (stovetop, air popper, or microwave). You should end up with approximately 12 cups of popped popcorn. Transfer it to a large mixing bowl, making sure to remove any unpopped kernels.

Step 2

Crush the Butterfinger candy bars into small pieces using a rolling pin or food processor. Set the crushed candy aside.

Step 3

In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.

Step 4

Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing well to combine.

Step 5

Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn in the large mixing bowl. Gently toss the popcorn with a spatula to coat it evenly in the marshmallow mixture.

Step 6

Sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger candy over the coated popcorn and gently mix to distribute the candy pieces throughout.

Step 7

Spray your hands lightly with nonstick cooking spray to prevent sticking. Working quickly, form the popcorn mixture into balls about the size of a baseball. Place the formed balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and set.

Step 8

Allow the popcorn balls to cool for 15–20 minutes until firm. Once set, serve and enjoy!
