Candy Corn Popcorn Balls - popcorn kernels

Method

• Heat a large pot over medium-high heat; add the popcorn kernels and peanut oil.
• When the oil starts to sizzle, sprinkle the sugar over the kernels.
• Cover with a tight-fitting lid and shake the pot until the popping slows down, about 8 minutes.
• Remove from the heat and set aside to cool.
• Spray a large bowl with cooking spray and add the popcorn, candy corn and peanuts.
• Combine the marshmallows and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat.
• Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
• Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn mixture and gently toss to coat.
• Coat your hands with cooking spray, then shape the popcorn into 3-inch balls.
• Let cool.
