Nonstick cooking spray
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vanilla extract

These are very easy popcorn balls to make. The marshmallows make them similar to crispy rice cereal bars that are so popular. Made with marshmallows, these are sweet, crispy, and chewy. Everyone's favorite combination!
