Sunday was a rainy day in our neighborhood and my daughter wanted to make something. So she looked in her cookbooks that she made in cooking class last year and came up with popcorn ball.

Pretty easy to make and only a few ingredients needed.

Popcorn
marshmallows
Butter
Sprinkles
Chocolate Chips

Melt the butter and add 40 large marshmallows to a non stick pan over medium heat, until melted.

Then place butter on hands and form popcorn into balls and cool. Then eat!
