Ingredients

5 cups popped popcorn
3 tablespoons butter
3 cups mini marshmallows
1 cup Golden Grahams cereal
2 cups mini chocolate chips

Instructions

Step 1: In a large bowl, combine the popped popcorn, Golden Grahams, 1 cup of mini chocolate chips, and ½ cup of mini marshmallows. Gently fold together using a rubber spatula.
Step 2: Melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown. Add ½ cup of mini marshmallows and stir until fully melted and smooth.
Step 3: Spread the popcorn mixture evenly onto a cookie sheet. Drizzle the melted marshmallow and butter mixture over the popcorn to help bind everything together.
Step 4: (Optional) Melt the remaining ½ cup of mini chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of the popcorn.
Step 5: Allow the popcorn to cool completely on the cookie sheet. Once cooled, break into clusters and serve or store for later.

Tips & Variations

For extra crunch, toast the Golden Grahams lightly before mixing.
Try adding chopped nuts like almonds or pecans for added texture.
Substitute peanut butter chips for some of the chocolate chips for a different flavor.
Use regular-sized marshmallows chopped into smaller pieces if mini marshmallows are not available.

Storage

Store the s’mores popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Keep it away from moisture to maintain its crispiness. If it softens a bit, you can refresh it with a quick 3-5 minute bake at 250°F (120°C) before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use microwave popcorn instead of popped popcorn?

Yes, microwave popcorn works well for this recipe. Just make sure to use plain or lightly salted popcorn without extra butter or flavorings to avoid overpowering the s’mores flavors.

How do I prevent the popcorn from getting soggy?

Be sure to drizzle the melted marshmallow mixture evenly and allow the popcorn to cool completely on a flat surface. Avoid covering the popcorn with a lid or plastic wrap until it is fully set to keep it crisp.
