Popcorn Cake

I LOVE popcorn in all forms and varieties. It is one of my many downfalls. This popcorn cake has pretzels, m & m's, marshmallows and popcorn. It was really yummy!

Source: Cookies and Cups

2 bags popcorn
2 cups of M&M’s
1 stick (1/2 cup) butter
16 oz bag of mini marshmallows (8 cups)
1 1/2 cups broken pretzel sticks

 

Prepare a large tube or bundt pan by spraying evenly with cooking spray.

Pop popcorn as directed on the package and dump into a large bowl. Pick out the kernels that didn’t pop. Now mix in  M&M’s. Melt butter over low in a large saucepan.

When melted add in marshmallows. Stir until melted and smooth.

Remove from heat.  Let sit a minute or two so it’s not super hot when pouring over the popcorn mix.  You don’t want your M&Ms to melt! Pour over your popcorn mix. Add broken pretzel sticks ..not crushed, just broken into smaller pieces…

Pour over popcorn mix. Stir until all the ingredients are combined and then press into the prepared pan.Cover with foil and let your cake set for at least an hour to cool.

When you are ready to serve the cake loosen sides of your cake from the pan by running a butter knife around the edges. Flip your pan over onto your serving platter.
