Introduction

S’mores Popcorn is a fun and easy treat that combines the best of classic s’mores flavors with the crunch of popcorn. Perfect for family movie nights or any cozy gathering, this sweet snack comes together quickly and is sure to delight both kids and adults.

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 the ingredients 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, then add the remaining ½ cup of mini marshmallows. Stir until the marshmallows are fully melted and combined with the butter.
Step 3: Spread the popcorn mixture evenly onto a cookie sheet. Drizzle the melted marshmallow-butter mixture over the top to help everything stick together.
Step 4: (Optional) Melt the remaining ½ cup of mini chocolate chips in the microwave in 30-second intervals until smooth. Use a spoon to drizzle the melted chocolate over the popcorn for an extra chocolatey finish.
Step 5: Allow the popcorn to cool completely. Once cool, break into clusters and serve or store for later enjoyment.

Tips & Variations

For a nutty twist, add chopped toasted almonds or peanuts to the popcorn mixture before drizzling with marshmallow.
Use different cereals like Cinnamon Toast Crunch or Chex instead of Golden Grahams for varied flavor and texture.
To make the drizzle smoother, gently warm the melted chocolate before drizzling to prevent hard clumps.
Store in an airtight container to keep the popcorn crisp and fresh for longer.

Storage

Store the cooled s’mores popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days. If the popcorn softens, you can re-crisp it briefly in a low oven at 250°F (120°C) for 5 minutes. Avoid refrigeration, which can cause the popcorn to become chewy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular-sized marshmallows instead of mini marshmallows?

Yes, you can substitute regular marshmallows by cutting them into smaller pieces. Mini marshmallows melt more evenly, but regular ones work fine if chopped up.

What type of chocolate chips work best for this recipe?

Mini semisweet chocolate chips melt nicely and have a balanced chocolate flavor. You can also use milk chocolate chips for a sweeter treat or dark chocolate chips if you prefer a richer taste.
