Notes

TOPPING IDEAS

cereal marshmallows
Try Sweet's Cinnamon bears. Its a huge favorite. (I like to cut them up into ⅓'s or ½'s
Gummy Bears
Salty Peanut
Once the marshmallow is completely cooled you can add other candies like M&M's, Mike and Ikes etc. Just dont add them while the popcorn is hot or you'll have a melty chocolatey mess. Delicious mess but a mess.

MARSHMALLOW POPCORN FAQ

HOW DO I STORE MARSHMALLOW POPCORN?

IF there are leftovers store them in a air tight container, even a ziplock bag is great. It can stay at room temp.

CAN I MAKE THIS AHEAD?

Yes! you can make this a day ahead if needed. It will stay pretty dang soft and fluffy until it's all devoured.

CAN I MAKE POPCORN BALLS WITH THIS RECIPE?

YES! Marshmallow popcorn is pretty sticky in texture so making a ball will not be problem. Once the mixture is all combined instead of leaving it in the bowl to cool I recommend laying it out on parchment paper. When it is still warm but not hot form them into popcorn balls and let cool.
