Prepare Ingredients: Begin by popping 6 cups of popcorn. You can use an air popper or microwave popcorn, just make sure it’s plain and unbuttered. Chop up the Butterfinger bars into small pieces.
-
-
Combine Popcorn and Butterfinger: In a large mixing bowl, combine the popped popcorn and the chopped Butterfinger bars. The combination of the crunchy popcorn and the sweet, chocolatey Butterfinger is a match made in heaven! 😋
-
Melt Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Keep an eye on it to prevent it from burning.
-
Add Marshmallows: Once the butter is melted, add the miniature marshmallows to the saucepan. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. This will only take a few minutes.
-
Combine Mixtures: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and Butterfinger mixture in the large bowl. Move quickly to toss everything together, ensuring that all the popcorn is evenly coated with the gooey marshmallow goodness.
-
Form Popcorn Balls: Spray your hands with nonstick cooking spray to prevent the mixture from sticking, then shape the popcorn mixture into six 3-inch balls. You can adjust the size of the balls to your preference, but smaller balls tend to hold together better.
-
Cool and Serve: Place the formed popcorn balls on wax paper to cool and set. Once they’re cooled and firm, they’re ready to enjoy! These make for a fun and delicious snack that’s perfect for sharing.
-
Storage: Store any leftover popcorn balls in an airtight container to keep them fresh. They should last for several days, although they’re so tasty, they might not stick around for long!
