Step-By-Step Instructions
- Begin by popping enough popcorn to fill 16 cups, ensuring to remove any unpopped kernels. Place the popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl and set it aside.
- In a large pot, add 10 ounces of mini marshmallows and ¼ cup of butter, then heat over medium heat, stirring constantly for 5-7 minutes until smooth and fully melted. Pour this mixture over the popcorn.
- Gently stir the melted marshmallow mixture into the popcorn, ensuring every piece is well-coated.
- Lightly butter your hands and shape the mixture into golf ball-sized balls, placing each on a lined baking sheet.
- Allow the shaped popcorn balls to cool and set for 30 minutes to an hour at room temperature.
- Melt the bag of Wilton bright white candy melts according to package instructions until smooth.
- Dip the tops of each popcorn ball into the melted candy, allowing excess to drip off. Return to the lined baking sheet and add candy eyeballs while still wet.
- Let the candy coating set completely before serving, which should take about 20-30 minutes.

Notes
Avoid wax paper for lining your baking sheet to prevent sticking; use parchment paper or silicone mats instead. Candy-eyes should be added just before serving.
