I love popcorn pretty much any time of day. I love to make caramel popcorn, cinnamon crunch popcorn, buttered popcorn or just eat it plain for a healthy, low calorie snack. However, I do have to say this marshmallow popcorn however is definitely one of my favorite ways to eat popcorn. It is soft, chewy, sweet and a little salty. We love to make this recipe all different times of the year and add extra items to give this popcorn a fun holiday twist. For Valentines we love to add cinnamon bears cut up, jelly hearts and/or Valentine's M&M's. The color's are really cute and also make a fun treat to give to school teachers, friends, neighbors, etc. I hope you love this recipe as much as we do!

Have marshmallow popcorn divided into two bowls. Begin by pouring 1/3 of the hot caramel to the top of the popcorn. Stir together. Add more dry popcorn from second bowl to the wet popcorn. Pour more sauce and repeat process. Add the remaining ingredients until it is all combined. Stir gently. You don’t need to have all the marshmallows melted. It’s tasty with chunks of marshmallow. Also delicious to add peanuts, cashews, M&M’s, cinnamon bears, cinnamon jelly hearts, or any other festive treat for Valentines Day or Halloween (candy corns) It tastes like a rice crispy treat but better because it’s popcorn!
