Brown Butter Marshmallow Popcorn Treat Bars
Report
MARSHMALLOW popcorn BARS. And then what if I throw in some pretzels and M&M's because isn't the spirit of Halloween all about just going overboard with the candy and snacks? And then, while I'm at it, I'll just go ahead and brown the butter. Browned butter. It makes everything better.

Ingredients
- 6 cups popped popcorn unseasoned
- 4 ounces unsalted butter 1 stick
- 1 bag mini marshmallows 10 ounces
- 1 cup peanut butter M&Ms
- 1 ½ cups pretzel sticks break them up slightly with your hands
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

Instructions
- Prepare a 9x13 baking dish by spraying it liberally with cooking spray
- Mix together the popcorn, pretzel sticks and M&Ms in a large bowl that has been sprayed with cooking spray.
- Spray a silicon spatula with cooking spray to use when you mix the marshmallow with the popcorn.
- In a large pot, melt the butter over medium low heat, stirring often. It will get a bit foamy, then it will start to become clarified butter. The liquid will turn golden and then start to brown and smell nutty. Stir almost constantly and don't walk away from the stove because it can burn very easily. When the butter is golden brown and smells nutty, take off the heat and mix in the marshmallows and kosher salt. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are melted and the butter is all incorporated.
- Working quickly, pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn mixture, stirring with your sprayed spatula so that everything is mixed together and covered in marshmallow.
- Pour the entire mixture into the baking pan and press down with your spatula (or your hand with a piece of parchment paper)
- Allow to cool before cutting and eating.
- These are best served the same day, but they are almost as good for up to 2 days if stored in a sealed container at room temperature.
Notes
- *it is very important that you use a coarse salt, or else the amount of salt will need to be reduced by about half**the reason you want to spray everything with cooking spray is that the marshmallow mixture is very sticky. This will help it from becoming a huge mess.Also it is important to work quickly when pouring the marshmallow, mixing, and pressing into the pan, because it will become harder to work with as it cools
