THE THINGS YOU NEED TO MAKE THE SWEET MARSHMALLOW TREATS

Ingredients for Funfetti Marshmallow Popcorn Treats

To prepare this tasty treat, you will need the following ingredients (the recipe card at the bottom of the post has the exact proportions, nutrition information, and entire recipe):

  • Popped popcorn kernels
  • Butter without salt
  • Big marshmallows
  • Small marshmallows
  • Vanilla extract
  • Colorful sprinkles
  • Melted white chocolate (optional)
  • Peanut butter (optional)
  • A little salt (optional)
  • Funfetti cake mix (optional)
  • Cooking spray
  • Parchment paper

How to make

Melting marshmallows and mixing popcorn

  1. First, use your favorite way to pop the popcorn kernels. It doesn’t matter if you use the stovetop, microwave, or air popper; just make sure you have 8 to 10 cups of popped popcorn ready to go.
  2. Put some butter in a big pot over low heat and let it melt. Once the butter has melted, add the marshmallows and mix until they are totally melted and smooth. Then whisk in the funfetti cake mix until everything is fully combined.
  3. Take the marshmallow mixture off the stove and stir in a little vanilla extract to make it taste better. Then, pour the melted marshmallows over the popcorn and stir until all the popcorn is uniformly coated.
  4. Now it’s time to have some fun: add the sprinkles! Add the sprinkles to the popcorn mixture and toss it one last time to make sure they are uniformly spread around.
  5. Put the popcorn mixture in a baking dish or sheet pan coated with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly into the pan with a spatula or your hands (lightly coated with cooking spray to keep it from sticking) to make it form a level, even layer.
  6. If you want to, melt the white chocolate according to the directions on the package, and then drizzle it over the sweets for a unique touch. You can also put more sprinkles on top.
  7. Let the sweets cool down for about 30 minutes at room temperature. Cut them into squares or split them into clusters once they have cooled. Get ready to have a lot of fun and taste in every bite!

How to save the leftover Funfetti Popcorn Rice Krispies

You can keep the remaining Funfetti Marshmallow Popcorn Treats in an airtight container or a zip-top bag.

To keep them fresh, make sure they are kept in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat. You can keep these goodies at room temperature for up to two or three days.

You may keep them in the fridge for up to a week if you want to make them last longer. Just know that putting them in the fridge can make them lose some of their crunchiness.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR THE BEST RESULTS

  • Freshly popped popcorn has the greatest texture and flavor. You may pop your popcorn in an air popper, on the stovetop, in the microwave, or using my Air Fryer Popcorn recipe. Before you mix the popcorn with the marshmallow mixture, make sure to take out any kernels that haven’t popped.
  • Even Coating: To make sure all the popcorn is evenly coated, use a big mixing basin and a rubber spatula to combine the melted marshmallow mixture with the popcorn. This will make sure that every bite is full of flavor.
  • Work rapidly: The marshmallow mixture can start to harden up rapidly, so once you’ve melted the marshmallows, get to work. To make things go more smoothly, get all of your tools and supplies ready ahead of time.
  • Cooling Time: Before cutting or breaking the goodies into pieces, let them cool all the way down. This will help them get firmer and keep their shape better.
  • Drizzling Chocolate: If you’re adding white chocolate drizzle, wait until it’s totally cool and set before cutting the cookies. This will keep the chocolate from smearing and make sure the presentation is clean.
  • Customization: You can add different colored sprinkles to your goodies or even small chocolate chips or chopped almonds to give them more flavor and texture.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I use plain microwave popcorn in this recipe?

Of course! A package of microwave popcorn is a quick and easy way to make marshmallow popcorn snacks. Before you mix the unpopped kernels with the melted marshmallow, make sure to take them out.

WHAT’S THE BEST WAY TO GET THE MARSHMALLOWS TO MELT IN THIS SWEET TREAT?

How to Do It

  1. First, use your favorite way to pop the popcorn kernels. No matter how you pop your popcorn—on the stove, in the microwave, or in the air popper—make sure you have 6 to 7 cups ready to go.
  2. Over low heat, melt some butter in a big pot. Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and whisk until they are totally melted and smooth.

  4. Adding the sparkles is the best part! Sprinkle them over the popcorn mix and toss it one last time to make sure the sprinkles are equally spread around.
  5. Put the popcorn mix in a baking dish or sheet pan coated with parchment paper. Press the mixture firmly into the pan with a spatula or your hands (which should be lightly coated with cooking spray to keep it from sticking) to make it form a level, even layer.
  6. If you want to make the goodies even more spectacular, melt some white chocolate and sprinkle it over the top. You can even add more sprinkles on top.
  7. Let the treats sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes so they can harden. After they have cooled, cut them into squares or split them into clusters. Get ready to have a lot of fun and taste in every bite!
