Recipe Information
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
Instructions
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.
Crush the Butterfinger candy bars into small pieces using a rolling pin or food processor. Set the crushed candy aside.
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.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt, mixing well to combine.
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.
Sprinkle the crushed Butterfinger candy over the coated popcorn and gently mix to distribute the candy pieces throughout.
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.
Allow the popcorn balls to cool for 15–20 minutes until firm. Once set, serve and enjoy!
