Ingredient Breakdown

1 cup popcorn kernels
1/4 cup unsalted butter
1 bag (10 oz) mini marshmallows
1/2 cup rainbow sprinkles
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt

Recipe Instructions

Pop the popcorn : Start by popping the popcorn kernels according to package instructions (this usually takes about 3-4 minutes in a popcorn maker or a few minutes on the stove if you do it that way). Once popped, throw them into a large, lightly greased bowl.
Melt the butter : In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. You want to do this slowly so it doesn’t burn. (About 3-4 minutes should do it.)
Add marshmallows : Oh, this is where the magic happens! Add the mini marshmallows into the melted butter, stirring frequently until completely melted and smooth, about 3-5 minutes.
Mix in the flavor : Remove the saucepan from heat and stir in the vanilla extract along with a pinch of salt. Smell that delightful aroma? Yes!
Combine the popcorn : Pour that gooey marshmallow mixture right over the popcorn. Now, using a spatula (or your hands, if you’re not worried about sticky fingers), mix until the popcorn is well coated in that sticky goodness.
Add in sprinkles : Gently fold in those rainbow sprinkles! Be careful not to overmix; you want those colors to stay bright.
Cool it down : Spread the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Let it cool for a bit (around 10-15 minutes) before breaking it into pieces.
Enjoy your delicious Funfetti Marshmallow Popcorn Treats! Seriously, they’re irresistible!
