Marshmallow Popcorn


I love this popcorn! The marshmallows are added to the popcorn, rather than melted into the syrup, resulting in ooey gooey pockets of marshmallowy deliciousness. 


1 bag miniature marshmallows
6 quarts popcorn (1 full batch in smaller Stir Crazy Popcorn Popper) (1 cup unpopped kernels and 3 T oil)
2 c sugar
3/4 c corn syrup
3 cubes butter
2 t vanilla


Combine marshmallows and popcorn in a large bowl and set aside.

Combine butter, corn syrup, and sugar in medium saucepan. Bring to boil. Cook for 3 minutes, stirring frequently. Do not overcook.  It will get hard. Remove from heat.  Add vanilla and stir for 1 minute while cooling.

Pour syrup over popcorn. Stir to coat.
