💡 Always use freshly popped popcorn so the balls stay crisp and hold their shape.
💧 Keep your hands wet with cold water while shaping to prevent sticking and help the marshmallow set.
⏱️ Work quickly once the marshmallow mixture is poured, and reheat briefly in the microwave if it stiffens before shaping.
