Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 cups Mini marshmallows
- 12 cups Popped popcorn (unpopped kernels removed)
- 1 cup Candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&M's)
- 1 cup Gummy candies (optional)
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Instructions
Prepare a bundt pan or large cake pan by spraying it generously with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Remove the pot from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the popped popcorn, candy-coated chocolates, and gummy candies (if using).
Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn mixture and use a large spoon or spatula to gently fold everything together until all the popcorn and candies are evenly coated.
Transfer the popcorn mixture to the prepared bundt pan or cake pan. Press the mixture down firmly into the pan to pack it tightly and create an even surface.
Allow the popcorn cake to cool and set completely at room temperature for about 1-2 hours.
Once the cake has set, carefully invert it onto a serving plate. If it sticks, gently run a butter knife around the edges to loosen it.
Slice and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
