Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large bowl, gently combine the popped popcorn, candy-coated chocolate pieces, and peanuts. Ensure even distribution. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, combine the vegetable oil, butter, and marshmallows. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are completely melted and the mixture is smooth. (Cook time: 8-10 minutes)

03

Step

Pour the melted marshmallow mixture evenly over the popcorn mixture. Using a heavy spoon or spatula, gently but thoroughly combine until all the popcorn is coated. Work quickly as the mixture will start to set. (Mixing time: 5 minutes)

04

Step

Generously spray a Bundt cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. This will ensure easy removal later. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

05

Step

Transfer the popcorn mixture into the prepared Bundt pan. Gently press the mixture down to create a compact and even surface. (Assembly time: 5 minutes)

06

Step

Refrigerate the popcorn cake for at least 2 hours, or until firm. (Chill time: 120 minutes)

07

Step

To remove the popcorn cake, briefly dip the bottom of the Bundt pan in warm water for about 30 seconds. Invert the pan onto a serving plate. If the cake doesn't release immediately, gently tap the pan. (Release time: 2 minutes)

For a richer flavor, use brown butter instead of regular melted butter.
Experiment with different types of nuts, such as almonds or cashews.
Add a pinch of sea salt to the marshmallow mixture to enhance the sweetness.
Line the bundt pan with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the cake.

    This is a great recipe, but it's very sweet. I might reduce the amount of marshmallows next time.

  • Rylee Sipes

    I made this for Christmas with red and green M&Ms, and it was a huge hit! Everyone raved about it.

    So much fun to make with the kids - definitely a new tradition in our house!

  • Adrienne Berge

    The brown butter tip is genius! It adds such a depth of flavor.

  • Krista Mcclure

    I had trouble getting the cake out of the pan. Next time, I'll definitely use parchment paper even with the nonstick spray.

  • Roderick Weimann

    My kids absolutely loved this! It was so easy to make and perfect for a birthday party.
