Ingredients

  • 1 bag popcorn (10 cups)
  • 10 oz marshmallows
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 to 2 cups of any candy (I use mini M&Ms, white chocolate covered pretzels, and sprinkles)

 

Directions

  • Grease a 9×13 pan.
  • Melt the marshmallows and butter in the microwave until completely melted.
  • Remove from microwave and mix (but be careful—it gets hot!).
  • Add popcorn and mix to incorporate (remove any kernels first).
  • Press 1/2 of popcorn mixture into the pan, add 1/2 of assorted candies on top to cover evenly. Repeat with the other 1/2 of popcorn and assorted candies.
  • Sit for 30 minutes then cut and enjoy with your favorite movie!
