Some people like to make popcorn balls using marshmallows (think Rice Crispy Treats.) I may try your recipe this year. Thanks for posting it.
Wet your hands with cold water!Hands will not burn or stick! First time DH and I made popcorn balls I buttered my hands like I was taught-he scolded me and told me to wet my hands instead. I had my doubts but it works,also great for pressing rice krispie treats down in the pan without sticking
