Popcorn Balls Recipe With Marshmallows

When it comes to easy and kid-friendly treats these Marshmallow Popcorn Balls are one of our all time favorites with only 5 ingredients needed!

Popcorn Balls

So I grew up with my mom always making marshmallow popcorn. Like we would never have normal popcorn she would always make a marshmallow version.

Now I'm not one to complain so I gladly ate it almost every weekend because it was just a fun snack to munch on and enjoy, especially as a kid.

I mean who doesn't like popcorn in the first place? Add a little bit of marshmallow to the mix and you have yourself something wonderful.

So I'm more into portion control these days, you could definitely eat these popcorn balls as just straight up marshmallow popcorn but I kinda like to have more of the "single" serving frame of mind

These marshmallow popcorn balls are literally super easy and the kids just go crazy for them!
