Ingredients

• 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
• 1/4 cup butter
• 4 cups mini marshmallows
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons cooking oil (vegetable or coconut)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add a few popcorn kernels and cover the pot with a lid.

Step 2

Once the test kernels pop, add the remaining 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels to the pot. Cover with the lid and shake the pot occasionally to distribute the heat evenly.

Step 3

When the popping slows to about 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from heat and carefully pour the popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl. Set aside.

Step 4

In a medium saucepan, melt 1/4 cup of butter over low heat. Add 4 cups of mini marshmallows and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth.

Step 5

Stir in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Remove from heat.

Step 6

Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently toss until the popcorn is fully coated.

Step 7

Allow the marshmallow popcorn to cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Optionally, form it into clusters or balls for individual servings.
