Recipe: Caramel Marshmallow Popcorn


On one of my many days of sitting next to Mike while he plays a game on the Playstation and pinning on Pinterest, I stumbled upon a recipe that sounded amazing! We eat popcorn frequently, and there have been many nights that Mike had been craving his caramel popcorn, but couldn't remember his recipe (the one that is just tossed together but comes out tasty). When I saw this recipe, I thought this would be a good one to try...of course, the downside came when I went to make it...

The recipe wasn't a recipe. I've run into this problem several times when I've tried to make things on Pinterest. Either the link that is provided is no longer there, or it's by people who just list the basics of what goes into it, but nothing else...for example, this one read something like this:
"Popped popcorn, butter, brown sugar and marshmallows.". Um...that's great and all...but not helpful to anyone trying to actually make it.

Some people just don't get that if you're going to write a recipe for people to try, you have to write it all...maybe that's just me being too nice in the culinary world? =)

So...moving on...this was a really tasty treat, and I will be making it again, and tweaking it some more, but for now...this was really good!

Ingredients:
Popped popcorn (We have an air popcorn maker, so...I guess however you can get it is good and however much you want!)

2-4 tablespoons butter
2-4 tablespoons brown sugar
2-3 large marshmallows

Melt butter and brown sugar in a saucepan over medium-medium high heat. Once it has melted, add marshmallows and stir until it is melted. It will be runny. Pour over popped popcorn and toss to try and coat the pieces (this will be tough).

Enjoy!
