Fluffernutter Popcorn Balls

Fluffernutter Popcorn Balls 8 cups popped popcorn 6 cups miniature marshmallows 2 Tablespoons butter 1 cup peanut butter chips 1 Tablespoon shortening 2 teaspoons sea salt 1 cups miniature M&M’s In a large saucepan, combine the butter and 4 cups of marshmallows. Heat over low/medium heat until melted and creamy. Set aside for a minute. In a microwave safe bowl, combine the peanut butter chips and the shortening. Heat for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat until melted. Place the popcorn in a large bowl. Pour the melted marshmallow over the popcorn and stir. Add the melted peanut butter chips and stir again. Toss in the M&M’s, salt, and the extra 2 cups of marshmallows and stir really well. Let cool a few minutes. Squeeze handfuls into large balls and set on a baking tray. Garnish with popsicle sticks, washi tape, and cupcake liners. Keep covered. Notes Note: I pressed my popcorn into a 9×13 pan while it was warm. After it was chilled, I cut it into squares and then made each square into a ball.
