Cup of Yum
Notes
- Any type of popcorn can be used.
- I recommend not using popcorn that is already too sweet. The marshmallow coating will add additional sweetness.
- For this recipe, I used almost a full 7 ounce bag of Smartfood popcorn.
- The sprinkles and chocolate are totally optional.
- Use parchment paper to help lift the bars out of the pan.
- Store bars covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. After that, the popcorn starts to become stale.
