Instructions
Pop popcorn, then remove any unpopped kernels. I like to pour the popcorn over a cooling rack, which lets the kernels fall through. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
2 envelopes of microwave popcorn
Spray an extra-large mixing bowl with nonstick cooking spray, and add popcorn.
In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt marshmallows and butter, stirring constantly until melted.
8 cups miniature marshmallows, ½ cup butter
When melted, add in 2-3 drops of neon green food coloring and stir thoroughly. Add more coloring if needed.
Neon Green Food Coloring Gel
Pour over popcorn and stir with a rubber spatula until popcorn is completely coated.
Add M&M’s and sprinkles, stir to distribute evenly. Spray hands with cooking spray and shape into balls- as big or little as you want them to be. If your hands start to get sticky, just respray them.
Once formed, roll in more sprinkles. Place on parchment-lined baking sheets until cool and set up. You may need to go back and reshape them every few minutes until they set up completely.

Notes
Tips and Tricks
Removing Unpopped Kernels: If you place a cooling rack on a rimmed baking sheet, then pour the popcorn over it, the kernels will fall through the cooling rack, leaving you with just the popcorn. It’s that easy!
Shaping Into Balls: I like to shape a few popcorn balls, then go back and repress the first few I made. Sometimes I have to repress the popcorn balls several times, until the marshmallow is set up enough.
