Marshmallow popcorn is a sweet, sticky, and crunchy treat that combines freshly popped popcorn with gooey melted marshmallows. It’s quick to make, highly customizable, and perfect for parties, movie nights, or last-minute desserts.

Ingredients

  • 8 cups popped popcorn (plain or lightly salted)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 5 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: pinch of salt
  • Optional: chocolate chips, sprinkles, candy pieces, or nuts

Instructions

  1. Pop the popcorn using your preferred method and place it in a large mixing bowl. Remove any unpopped kernels.
  2. In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter.
  3. Add the mini marshmallows and stir constantly until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract (and a pinch of salt if using).
  5. Immediately pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn.
  6. Gently stir to coat all the popcorn evenly. Use a spatula or buttered hands to prevent sticking.
  7. Add any mix-ins or toppings while the mixture is still warm so they stick.
  8. Let the popcorn cool slightly before serving, or shape into balls if desired.

Notes

Use lightly salted popcorn to balance the sweetness.Grease your hands or utensils to avoid sticking when mixing.Add mix-ins like chocolate chips, candy, or sprinkles while the mixture is warm.Best enjoyed fresh, but can be stored for up to 2 days in an airtight container.To make popcorn balls, let the mixture cool slightly and form with greased hands.
