4 cups mini marshmallows
1/4 cup butter
1 cup M&M’s or candy-coated chocolates
1 tablespoon butter or nonstick spray
Instructions
1. Grease a bundt or tube pan with butter or nonstick spray to prevent sticking.
2. Place popped popcorn in a large bowl and remove any un-popped kernels.
3. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
4. Add mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
5. Pour the melted mixture over the popcorn and gently mix to coat evenly.
6. Let the mixture cool slightly, then fold in the candy.
7. Transfer to the prepared pan and press gently into shape.
8. Allow to set at room temperature for 30 minutes.
9. Invert onto a serving plate, slice, and serve.
Notes
Let the marshmallow mixture cool slightly before adding candy to prevent melting.
Do not press the mixture too firmly into the pan to keep the texture light.
Use fresh popcorn for the best crunch and flavor.
