Ingredients
Scale
Popcorn
- 1 cup of freshly popped popcorn
Marshmallows
- 2 cups of mini marshmallows
Caramel Sauce
- 1 cup of rich and buttery caramel sauce
Butter
- 1/4 cup of melted butter
Salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
Instructions
- Pop the Corn: Start by popping your popcorn. You can use an air popper, stovetop, or microwave—just make sure to have enough to fill a large bowl. Set it aside to cool slightly.
- Prepare the Caramel: In a saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until they are completely melted and smooth. Gradually pour in the caramel sauce, mixing until well combined.
- Combine Popcorn and Caramel: In a large mixing bowl, combine the popped popcorn with the caramel-marshmallow mixture. Stir gently to coat all the popcorn evenly.
- Bake for Crunchiness: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even crispiness.
- Cool and Serve: Once baked, remove the popcorn from the oven and let it cool completely. Break it into pieces and transfer it to a serving bowl. Enjoy your Marshmallow Caramel Corn!

- Use Fresh Popcorn: Freshly popped popcorn yields the best texture and flavor.
- Watch the Heat: When melting marshmallows, avoid high heat to prevent burning.
- Mix Quickly: Combine the popcorn and caramel mixture quickly to ensure even coverage.
- Store Properly: Keep leftovers in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
