Make fun, colorful popcorn balls using Lucky Charms cereal and marshmallows for a sweet and slightly salty snack.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 cups popped popcorn, lightly salted
  • 1 (10 ounce) package marshmallows
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 3 cups Lucky Charms cereal (separate marshmallows from the cereal pieces if desired, but mixing them works too)

Instructions

  1. Lightly spray a large bowl with non-stick cooking spray or grease your hands with butter.
  2. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter.
  3. Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Remove the pan from the heat.
  4. Stir in the vanilla extract.
  5. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn in the prepared bowl. Gently fold the mixture until the popcorn is evenly coated.
  6. Add the Lucky Charms cereal pieces. Fold quickly until the cereal is distributed throughout the popcorn mixture. Work fast, as the mixture will set quickly.
  7. Lightly grease your hands or use wax paper. Scoop about 1/2 cup of the mixture and shape it firmly into a ball. Place the finished ball on a sheet of wax paper to cool and set.
  8. Let the popcorn balls cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • If the mixture becomes too stiff to work with, return the saucepan to very low heat for a few seconds to soften it slightly.
  • For easier shaping, lightly butter your hands before forming each ball.
  • If you want brighter colors, reserve the colorful marshmallow pieces from the cereal and fold them in last.
