How To Make popcorn cake

• 1

  Make microwavable popcorn according to instructions on the bag. Discard any un-popped popcorn seeds from the bag.
• 2

  Butter the inside of one 8x8-inch pan with a bit of butter. Then line inside of pan with plastic wrap.
• 3

  In a large kettle or Dutch oven, add the 1/4 cup of butter. (I used a large Teflon coated kettle/pan, when making this recipe.) Melt the butter over low heat, then add the marshmallows; stirring until marshmallows have melted completely.
• 4

  Remove kettle from stove, and quickly stir the melted marshmallows and popcorn together.
• 5

  Add the M&M's, and quickly stir them in as well.
• 6

  Pour the popcorn mixture into the prepared pan.
• 7

  With buttered hands, press popcorn mixture down into the pan.
• 8

  Cover pan with plastic wrap, and set pan aside to cool for a few hours before cutting into squares. (I let mine set for at least 4 hours.)

  *Note: I have also made this with 4 cups of miniature marshmallows. With the extra marshmallows added, this will make 8 servings.
