Popcorn Cake

Our next door neighbor used to have one of these hidden in the cupboard to be brought out when we came over to play. It is basically a popcorn ball, smashed into a bundt pan, and cut and eaten like pieces of cake.This is a great way to use up leftover holiday M&M's or other candy. You can put anything you want in it. It tends to harden after three days, so eat it quick!
