Popcorn Mixture
- 5 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup Golden Grahams cereal
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Marshmallow Sauce
- 3 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Chocolate Drizzle (Optional)
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- Mix Popcorn Base: In a large bowl, combine the 5 cups of popped popcorn, 1 cup Golden Grahams, 1 cup mini chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup mini marshmallows. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold until evenly mixed.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Continue cooking until the butter turns golden brown, then add 1/2 cup mini marshmallows. Stir continuously until marshmallows are fully melted and combined with the butter to form a smooth sauce.
- Combine and Spread: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn mixture. Spread everything evenly onto a cookie sheet, using your spatula to combine and help the mixture stick together.
- Add Chocolate Drizzle (Optional): Melt 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn mixture on the cookie sheet using a spoon for an extra chocolatey touch.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the popcorn mixture to cool completely on the cookie sheet. Once cooled, break into pieces and serve as a sweet snack or dessert during your family movie night.
Notes
- Using fresh popped popcorn will yield the best texture and flavor.
- For a gluten-free version, substitute Golden Grahams with a certified gluten-free cereal.
- Make sure to monitor the butter when browning to prevent burning.
- Store leftover S’mores Popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
- Customize by swapping mini chocolate chips with white chocolate or peanut butter chips for a different flavor twist.
