Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup popcorn kernels Use plain, lightly salted, air-popped popcorn.
  • 4 cups mini marshmallows Mini marshmallows melt faster.
  • 4 tablespoons butter Can substitute with coconut oil for a tropical flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract Optional but recommended.
  • 1 cup rainbow sprinkles For that classic 'funfetti' look.
  • to taste salt To complement the sweetness.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Pop your popcorn using your preferred method (microwave or stovetop). Place it in a large bowl.
  2. Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until fully melted and glossy.
  3. Once melted, add a splash of vanilla extract to the mixture.
  4. Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and stir quickly to coat all the popcorn evenly.
  5. Before the mixture cools, quickly add the rainbow sprinkles and toss to combine.
  6. Spread the coated popcorn on wax paper to set or serve immediately by the handful.

Notes

For perfect popcorn, avoid soaking the popcorn in the marshmallow mix to prevent sogginess. Fresh popcorn is essential for this recipe. You can experiment with different add-ins like chocolate chips, crushed candy canes, or pretzels for creative variations.
