Salted M and M Marshmallow Popcorn

That's a mouthful! In more ways than one.

I love the combo of salty and sweet and one of my favorite ways is to throw some M&M's in with my popcorn!

But then sometimes you have to dig around when the M&M's sink to the bottom of the bowl and that's just too much work for my calories, you know.

Where there's a problem, there's always a solution. And the solution here is this delicious popcorn!


Salty, sweet, chocolate-y. Perfection.



Salted M&M Marshmallow Popcorn
Yield: 8 cups
Prep Time: 10 min. Total Time: 15 min.

Ingredients:
-8 cups popped popcorn
-5 tbsp. salted butter
-One bag marshmallows (I used large but small ones would work, too!)
-M&M's
-Salt

Directions:
-Melt butter in large saucepan. Stirring occasionally. Add marshmallows and stir occasionally until melted. This can take a few minutes so watch the pot closely to avoid burning.
-Add popped popcorn to butter/marshmallow mixture and gently toss to coat.
-Pour popcorn onto a greased foil (or silpat without grease!) lined baking sheet and pour M&M's over the top. Push the M&M's into the popcorn so they stick and sprinkle generously with salt.
-Cut apart and then let cool. You can cut them after they cool but it does harden quickly.
-Serve immediately.

Enjoy!
