Caramel Marshmallow Popcorn

This Caramel Marshmallow Popcorn combines crunchy popcorn with a smooth caramel-melted marshmallow coating. Butter and brown sugar are heated to create a caramel base, then melted marshmallows are added for a creamy, sticky texture that binds the popcorn, giving a sweet and chewy treat. The large marshmallows create a distinctive sticky coating, and the recipe yields a dessert-like snack good for sharing.

Description

Start with 12 cups of fully popped popcorn, free from unpopped kernels, as they can be hard and unpleasant to bite. The caramel sauce is made by melting butter and brown sugar together over medium heat until combined. Adding large marshmallows and stirring until smooth creates a thick, sticky coating that envelops the popcorn. Mixing the warm caramel mixture with popcorn gently ensures even coverage without crushing the popcorn pieces.

The result is a sweet, chewy snack with buttery caramel flavor and soft marshmallow texture. This treat works well for movie nights, parties, or dessert occasions where a handheld, shareable snack is desired. It can be spread on a baking sheet to cool and harden slightly before serving.
