Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 10 cups Mini marshmallows
- 12 cups Popped popcorn (unpopped kernels removed)
- 1 cup Candy-coated chocolates (e.g., M&M's)
- 1 cup Gummy candies (optional)
- 1 as needed Nonstick cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a bundt pan or large cake pan by spraying it generously with nonstick cooking spray. Set aside.
Step 2
In a large pot, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat.
Step 3
Add the mini marshmallows to the melted butter and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth. Remove the pot from heat.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the popped popcorn, candy-coated chocolates, and gummy candies (if using).
Step 5
Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn mixture and use a large spoon or spatula to gently fold everything together until all the popcorn and candies are evenly coated.
Step 6
Transfer the popcorn mixture to the prepared bundt pan or cake pan. Press the mixture down firmly into the pan to pack it tightly and create an even surface.
Step 7
Allow the popcorn cake to cool and set completely at room temperature for about 1-2 hours.
Step 8
Once the cake has set, carefully invert it onto a serving plate. If it sticks, gently run a butter knife around the edges to loosen it.
Step 9
Slice and serve! Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
