Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 0.75 cup salted butter
- 20 ounces mini marshmallows (two 10-ounce packages)
- 14 cups unflavored popcorn (bagged, pre-popped, kernels removed) Microwave popcorn can be substituted
- 2 cups plain M&M’s
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Lightly spray a 10 cup Bundt cake pan with nonstick cooking spray.
- Add the butter and both packages of the mini marshmallows to a medium size microwave safe bowl. Heat on high power in 30 second increments, stirring in between increments until the butter and mini marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- In an extra large bowl (6 to 7 quarts) add the popped popcorn.
- Pour the melted mini marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and use a wooden spoon to stir the mixture together.
- Sprinkle in the M&M’s. Try to be as gentle as possible when stirring as the coloring of the M&M’s can smudge and run.
- Scoop the coated popcorn into the prepared Bundt cake pan. Gently press the popcorn mixture down as you scoop more coated popcorn into the pan.
- Allow the popcorn cake to rest at room temperature for 2 hours, or until firm.
- Turn the popcorn cake onto a serving plate, and cut into 12 slices.
