Popcorn S’mores

WI Cheesehead's Note:

This is from Family Fun's website. I make it and put it in a pan to set and cut up as bars. Prep. time is an estimate, including popping popcorn.

• Total Time: 25 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 30

• 1 cup brown sugar , firmly packed
• ½ cup butter or ½ cup margarine
• ½ cup corn syrup
• ½ teaspoon baking soda
• 10 cups freshly popped popcorn (cooled)
• 1 (10 ½ ounce) package mini marshmallows
• 2 cups Teddy Grahams honey graham snacks (not crumbs) or 2 cups crumbled graham crackers (not crumbs)
• 1 cup chocolate chips

Directions:

1. Combine the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup in a medium saucepan.
2. Cook on high for 5 minutes.
3. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the baking soda.
4. Thoroughly combine the popcorn and marshmallows in a large metal bowl. (Do NOT use a plastic bowl).
5. Drizzle the sugar mixture over the popcorn to coat it.
6. Gently stir in the graham crackers and chocolate chips, incorporating them evenly throughout the mixture.
7. Let the mixture set until cool enough to handle, then, using buttered plastic sandwich bags on your hands, form the mixture into golf-ball-size balls.
8. Store in airtight container.
9. NOTE: Do NOT use air-popped popcorn. It will melt when combined with the hot sugar mixture.

Made this to take to the races with us this weekend and all the kids enjoyed it. I followed the recipe exactly as written. This was easy to make.

This recipe makes delectible squares, and oh so easy to prepare. I didn't have the small marshmallows so I cut half a 400g bag of the regular size marshmallows into quarters which worked well. I used miniture chocolate chips because that was what I had on hand and they were quite melty which created a bit of a swirled effect. Tasty!

Oh my word, these were so good! My husband couldn't stop eating it right out of the bowl. Very addictive for sure. :)
