Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large, heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until completely melted and smooth. Ensure no lumps remain. (5-7 minutes)

03

Step

In an extra-large bowl, gently combine the popped popcorn, gumdrops, chocolate-covered peanuts, and candy-coated chocolate pieces.

04

Step

Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn mixture. Using a large spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold the ingredients together until the popcorn is evenly coated. Be careful not to crush the popcorn. (3 minutes)

05

Step

Lightly grease a 10-inch tube pan or a 12-cup Bundt pan with cooking spray or butter.

06

Step

Transfer the popcorn mixture into the prepared pan, pressing down firmly and evenly to ensure it is compact. (2 minutes)

07

Step

Allow the cake to set at room temperature until completely cool and firm, about 1-2 hours. Alternatively, chill in the refrigerator for faster setting.

08

Step

Once set, carefully invert the pan onto a serving plate. Cut into wedges and serve immediately for the best texture.

For a richer flavor, use salted butter.
Experiment with different types of candies and nuts to customize the cake to your liking.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container, but note that the popcorn will lose its crispness over time. It's best enjoyed the same day it's made.
If you don't have a tube or Bundt pan, you can use a 9x13 inch baking dish. Press the mixture firmly into the dish and cut into squares once set.

    The popcorn lost its crunch after a few hours, but it was still tasty. Next time, I'll make it closer to serving time.
