Carmallow Corn

Submitted by Amber C.

"One of our favorite munchies. It is caramel marshmallow corn, so it stays soft and chewy. I'm not sure that I would use microwave popcorn as it disintegrates easy and might not be able to hold up to the caramel well..I usually just buy a bag of popped buttered popcorn."

 

• Ready In: 20mins
• Ingredients: 4
• Yields: 8 cups
• Serves: 6-8

ingredients

• 2 quarts popped popcorn, we usually use pre popped and buttered (I'm sure it would be fine with fresh plain popped corn, it just won't be as buttery)

• 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
• 3 cups mini marshmallows

directions

1. Stovetop: Place butter in a pot and melt on medium heat.
2. Add sugar and heat while stirring until sugar dissolves and comes to a boil (make sure it does not scorch, stir often) let boil one minute.
3. take off heat and add 1/2 of marshmallows, stir and then add remaining marshmallows, stir until melted (turn heat on med/low if you need more heat to melt them-be patient, do not boil-).
4. Place 1/2 popcorn in a 3 quart or large container and pour 1/2 carmello mix on top, add the rest of popcorn and carmello. Mix well with a wooden spoon or spatula.
5. Microwave: Place brown sugar and butter a large microwavable bowl, microwave for 2 minutes on high.

7. Add remaining marshmallow an cook one more minute, stir until dissolved and creamy.
