Servings: 10
Calories: 358kcal
Ingredients
- 16 cups popped popcorn 3.2 oz bags microwave popcorn
- 1 cup pretzels slightly broken
- 1 cup m&m’s
For the caramel sauce:
- ½ cup packed brown sugar
- ¼ cup margarine
- ½ cup dark corn syrup
- 1 ½ cups mini marshmallows
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the popcorn, pretzels, m&ms and any other things you prefer (raisinets, nuts, etc)
- In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt and combine the brown sugar, margarine and corn syrup (stirring constantly)
- Once that mixture is combined and just starting to boil, add in the marshmallows (the marshmallows are the secret ingredient! I’ve never seen them in a caramel sauce before!)
- Melt the marshmallows down and once the mixture is boiling, let it boil for about 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
- The trick is to never stop stirring!
- When the 2 minutes is up, pour the caramel mixture over the popcorn/pretzel/m&m mixture.
- Stir well with a nonstick spoon (you may spray it with pam), and make sure all the popcorn mixture is covered.
- Serve immediately or with in an hour or 2. Popcorn and pretzels can go stale very quickly.
