Place popcorn in a large mixing bowl. Melt butter in a sauce pan over medium heat. Once melted stir in marshmallows and stir until just melted. Quickly pour melted marshmallow over the popcorn and fold to combine. Pour in pretzels and mixed nuts. Stir to mix. Using greased heatproof gloves, take a handful of popcorn mixture and roll it into a ball. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat to form 12 balls. Let sit at room temperature about 15 minutes before serving. Wrap individual popcorn balls in plastic wrap or store in an air tight container.* You can use seasonal candies to replace the pretzels or nuts. Or you can use both! Go crazy!
Why this Marshmallow Popcorn Balls works for PCOS
Desserts on a PCOS plan are not banned, but timing and pairing matter. Eating sweet foods immediately after a balanced meal (rather than on an empty stomach) blunts the blood sugar response, since protein and fat slow gastric emptying. This Marshmallow Popcorn Balls works best as an occasional post-dinner option rather than a standalone snack.
