Description

Popcorn Marshmallow Treats are a delightful, sweet snack combining fluffy marshmallows, buttery popcorn, and creamy white chocolate chips. Perfectly sticky and topped with colorful sprinkles, these treats offer a fun and festive crunch that’s easy to make and share.

Ingredients

Popcorn

  • 2 bags of microwavable popcorn

Marshmallow Mixture

  • 1 10-ounce bag of marshmallows
  • 6 tablespoons butter

Additional Mix-ins

  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • Colorful sprinkles (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Prep Your Baking Dish: Butter a 9×11-inch baking pan thoroughly to prevent the marshmallow popcorn mixture from sticking and to make it easier to remove the treats after setting.
  2. Melt Butter: In a large saucepan or pot, melt 6 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, stirring constantly to avoid burning until fully melted.
  3. Melt Marshmallows: Add the 10-ounce bag of marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until they melt into a smooth, sticky mixture with a pleasant aroma.
  4. Pop the Popcorn: While melting the marshmallows, pop the two bags of microwavable popcorn according to package instructions. Once popped, transfer to a large bowl and remove any unpopped kernels.
  5. Combine Popcorn and Marshmallow Mixture: Pour the popped popcorn into the pot with the melted marshmallow mixture and stir thoroughly to coat every kernel evenly with the sticky marshmallow.
  6. Add Mini Marshmallows and White Chocolate Chips: Gently fold in 1 cup of mini marshmallows and 1 cup of white chocolate chips ensuring these are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  7. Spread in Pan: Transfer the combined mixture into the prepared baking pan. Using buttered hands or a buttered spoon, press the mixture down evenly to form a compact layer.
  8. Top with Sprinkles: Sprinkle colorful sprinkles generously over the top to add festivity and texture.
  9. Let It Set: Cover the pan and let the treats set at room temperature for about 2 hours, allowing the marshmallow to firm up and hold the treats together.
  10. Cut and Serve: Once set, cut into squares or rectangles and enjoy your sweet, crunchy popcorn marshmallow treats.

Notes

  • Ensure to remove unpopped kernels from the popcorn to avoid unpleasant bites.
  • Butter your hands or utensils when handling the sticky mixture to prevent it from sticking.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
  • The treats can be customized by adding nuts or different types of chocolate chips.
