  • Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.

Notes

To prevent the popcorn from sticking, make sure hands are greased prior to forming popcorn balls.
Remove any popcorn kernels you see as you shape the popcorn balls.
Microwave popcorn can work for this recipe as well.  Use unsalted butter if using salted microwave butter.
