Ingredients

12 cups prepared Popcorn
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) Unsalted Butter
1 10-ounce package Mini Marshmallows
1 3-ounce package Green Jello (not prepared)
15 Gummy Worms

Instructions

Line a large baking sheet (or two) with wax or parchment paper.
Put the prepared popcorn in a very large mixing bowl.
Place the butter and mini marshmallows in a large non-metal bowl and microwave on high until the marshmallows are puffy (1 ½-2 minutes).
Spray a silicon spoon or spatula with non-stick spray and stir the jello mix into the marshmallow mixture to fully combine.
Spoon the marshmallow mixture into the popcorn and stir to fully coat the popcorn.
Spray hands with non-stick cooking spray and roll the popcorn mixture into balls approximately 3-inches in diameter. Roll a gummy worm into each ball so it sticks out.
Place the balls on the prepared pan(s) to set. NOTE: if the balls begin to separate before setting due to the position of the gummy worm, squeeze the ball together and allow to set.
Once fully set wrap with plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
