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.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large bowl, gently combine the popped popcorn, candy-coated chocolate pieces, and peanuts. Ensure even distribution. (Prep time: 5 minutes)
02
StepIn 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
StepPour 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
StepGenerously spray a Bundt cake pan with nonstick cooking spray. This will ensure easy removal later. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
05
StepTransfer 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
StepRefrigerate the popcorn cake for at least 2 hours, or until firm. (Chill time: 120 minutes)
07
StepTo 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)

May 9, 2025This is a great recipe, but it's very sweet. I might reduce the amount of marshmallows next time.

Mar 5, 2024I had trouble getting the cake out of the pan. Next time, I'll definitely use parchment paper even with the nonstick spray.
