Marshmallow Caramel Popcorn
Marshmallow Caramel Popcorn is soft, sweet and deliciously gooey! Only 3 simple ingredients to make the caramel sauce to pour over popcorn and marshmallows!
Servings: 16
Ingredients
- 16 cups popped popcorn about 1/2 cup kernels
- 2 sticks butter 1 cup
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/2 cup light corn syrup
- 10 oz. bag mini marshmallows 5 1/2 cups
Instructions
- Pop the popcorn and set aside.
- In a saucepan, mix the butter, sugar and corn syrup and heat over medium heat, stirring until melted and combined well. Bring the mixture to a boil and boil for about 2 minutes*.
- Remove the mixture from heat.
- Add the marshmallows to the popcorn and give a couple quick stirs to mix them in.
- Immediately pour the hot caramel over the popcorn and marshmallows and then mix it all together. The marshmallows will melt very quickly and this will result in a very creamy caramel coating for your popcorn. As with all caramel popcorn, it tastes so much better when it is warm and gooey so I like to serve it right away.

Notes
*With some caramel recipes, you have to be very exact with the temperature of the caramel but I think this recipe is more forgiving because the caramel will be combining with the marshmallows and that gives it the perfect consistency! I don't usually check the temperature of the caramel mixture in this recipe, I just watch the clock and let it boil for about 2-2 1/2 minutes. I did check the temperature at this point and it was at 246°F, so if you aren't sure if the mixture is "done", you can use a thermometer to make sure the temp is around 245°.
