Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 6 cups popped popcorn
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 1 cup M&M’s
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, combine the popped popcorn, mini marshmallows, and M&M's. Stir gently to distribute the ingredients evenly without crushing the popcorn.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, usually taking about 3-5 minutes. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
- Add sugar to the melted butter and stir continuously until the sugar dissolves completely, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the vanilla extract, making sure the mixture is fragrant and slightly thick.
- Pour the melted mixture over the popcorn mixture and stir gently until everything is well coated.
- Press the mixture into a greased cake pan, using a spatula or lightly greased fingers to ensure an even layer.
- Allow the cake to cool and set for at least 30 minutes before cutting into squares or serving.
