  3. Combine the marshmallows and butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring, until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes.
  4. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn mixture and gently toss to coat.
  5. Coat your hands with cooking spray, then shape the popcorn into 3-inch balls.
