Instructions
Spread a large piece of waxed paper or parchment paper on your workspace.
In a large stockpot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over low heat. Once the butter is melted, stir in the marshmallows and brown sugar, and continue stirring until it’s all melted.
Remove the pot from the heat.
Add the popcorn and whatever mix ins you want to add, and stir well.
Butter your hands, and then shape the mixture into about two- or three-inch balls. Lightly press them together so they stick, but be careful not to crush the popcorn.
Place the balls on the waxed paper to cool. Either individually wrap the popcorn balls or store in an airtight container.
