GRANDMA'S POPCORN BALLS

18 servings

1/2 pound butter, do not use margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1 package marshmallows, large
8 quarts popcorn

Heat above over very low heat, stirring constantly until mixture is melted. I use the microwave but does not take very long and be careful not to burn it. Pour over popcorn with the seeds taken out and form into balls. If you wet your hands with water the popcorn won't stick to them
