Birthday Cake Popcorn Recipe
Description
This Birthday Cake Popcorn combines 6 cups of popped popcorn with a marshmallow mixture infused with vanilla cake mix and vanilla extract. Marshmallows are melted over low heat until smooth, then cake mix and vanilla are stirred in. Milk is added gradually to create a pourable glaze that coats the popcorn evenly when mixed.
The mixture can be enjoyed as loose popcorn or formed into compact popcorn balls by wetting hands to prevent sticking and shaping the mixture. Sprinkles may be added on top for added color and a festive look. The popcorn offers a sweet, slightly cakey flavor with a chewy marshmallow coating, making it suitable for parties or celebrations.
The method involves warming the marshmallows gently to avoid burning and stirring frequently for a smooth mixture. The recipe offers flexibility on milk amount to adjust glaze consistency.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Popcorn popped
- ½ bag marshmallows
- ¾ cup vanilla cake mix
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 2-4 tablespoons milk can be dairy-free milk
- Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Place popped popcorn in a large bowl and remove any un-popped kernels.
- Place marshmallows in a medium-sized saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir frequently until marshmallows have melted. Add cake mix and stir till well combined. Stir in the vanilla then stir in the milk 1 tablespoon at a time until it is a pouring (but not runny) consistency.
- Pour melted marshmallows over popcorn and stir to combine. If using, top with sprinkles.
Popcorn Balls
- To make these into popcorn balls, wet your hands lightly then scoop up a small amount of popcorn. Gently form into the shape of a ball. Re-wet hands between each popcorn ball to prevent the popcorn from sticking to your hands.
