Ingredients
Scale
Popcorn Mix
- 5 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup Golden Grahams cereal
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
Marshmallow Sauce
- 3 tablespoons butter
- ½ cup mini marshmallows
Optional Chocolate Drizzle
- ½ cup mini chocolate chips
Instructions
- Prepare the Popcorn Mix: In a large bowl, combine the 5 cups of popped popcorn, 1 cup of Golden Grahams cereal, 1 cup of mini chocolate chips, and ½ cup of mini marshmallows. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the ingredients together until evenly mixed.
- Melt and Brown Butter with Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter, stirring continuously until it turns golden brown and fragrant. Then add ½ cup of mini marshmallows to the browned butter, stirring until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth.
- Combine Marshmallow Sauce with Popcorn Mix: Spread the popcorn mixture evenly onto a cookie sheet. Drizzle the melted marshmallow mixture over the top to help bind the ingredients together.
- Optional Chocolate Drizzle: For an extra chocolatey touch, melt ½ cup of mini chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth. Use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn mix.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the popcorn mixture to cool on the cookie sheet until it hardens enough to break into chunks. Once cooled, break into pieces and serve as a delightful sweet snack perfect for movie night.
Notes
- Use fresh popcorn that is lightly salted or unsalted for the best flavor balance.
- To melt chocolate chips gently, use short bursts in the microwave and stir well to avoid burning.
- Store leftover s’mores popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness.
- For a nutty twist, consider adding chopped nuts or substituting Golden Grahams with other cereals like Cheerios or Rice Krispies.
- Ensure butter is browned carefully as it can burn quickly; remove from heat as soon as it turns golden and smells nutty.
