We had reindeer and I couldn’t resist this grinch popcorn, from Two Sisters Crafting for the Christmas dessert table. Popcorn is one of my absolute no contest favourite foods. So covering it with green melted marshmallows and red M&M’s seemed like a fabulous idea. It was. A fun little idea, and one that you can adjust colouring for any season. Think pink for Valentines. Stick with green, with green M&m’s for St.Patty’s day. Go Pastel for Easter. Endless possibilities, and fun popcorn!
P.S If you want it really gooey, double the butter marshmallow mixture. I felt ours could have had a bit more.
- 1/2 cup popcorn kernels
- 2 Tbsp. oil
- salt, use lots
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 cups marshmallows
- green food coloring
- red m&m ‘s
- additional marshmallows
- Pop popcorn in popcorn machine with oil. Remove any kernels that didn’t pop. Sprinkle with salt. You want a lot.
- Melt butter in large saucepan, and add marshmallows. Melt over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in as much food colouring as you like. Immediately pour over popcorn and stir to coat.
- Lay on a cookie sheet lined with wax paper and top with m&m’s and marshmallows. Press down so they stick in the mixture. Let set.
- Eat and enjoy!
