Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons plus 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 12 cups popped popcorn (plain, unsalted and unbuttered)
  • 2 cups M & M candies
  • 1 cup lightly salted cocktail peanuts
  • 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 1 pound marshmallows

Directions

Grease a large tube or bundt cake pan with 2 teaspoons of the oil, and set aside.

In a large bowl, mix the popped corn with the M & M candies and the peanuts.

In a small saucepan, melt the butter, remaining 1/4 cup of oil, and marshmallows over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. When melted, pour over the popcorn mixture, and stir to combine. Pour into the prepared cake pan, pressing down to fit. Cover with aluminum foil to keep moist and let rest until firm, 3 to 4 hours.

To serve, invert the cake pan onto a large cake plate or platter. Shake gently to release. Serve at room temperature.

    So disappointed - - not good at al IMO.

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    I was so anxious to make this recipe that I made a special trip to the store to get the ingredients. I wish I hadn't have. ... It was way too messy and the end product didn't justify the mess! I expected it to taste much better than it does. No one liked it so in the trash it went. Think seriously before you buy the things to make it. It really isn't very good (at all).....the idea of it is much better than the finished product. :-(Read more

    Chewy popcorn is not good

    Rated: 1 stars out of 5
    This was fairly easy to make and looked very pretty. Even the flavor was not bad but the chewy popcorn was TERRIBLE!! My... family tasted it and then it went in the garbage.Read more

    Unbelievable

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    I had high hopes for this recipe, but I had no idea how wonderful it really was. My daughter's class had a popcorn party for... Thanksgiving and we were encouraged to find recipes to make containing popcorn and I found this one. The parents and kids couldn't stay away from it. I did change it up a little bit because the teacher was allergic to nuts, so instead, I used plain M&M's, white chocolate chips, and butterscotch chips and oh man it was incredible. Much better than Rice Crispy Treats, and I love them.Read more
