How To Make bonnie's nutty popcorn cake

• Step 1
  Grease a large tube or angel food pan, or a bundt cake pan with 2 teaspoons of the oil. (I prefer the angel food pan) Set aside. Pop the corn, don't use microwave corn. Exclude in unpopped kernels. In a large bowl, mix the popped corn with the gummi bears or gum drops, and the nuts and set aside.
• Step 2
  In a large buttered bowl, mix the popcorn, gum drops or gummi bears, brazil nuts, pecans and walnuts.
• Step 3
  In a medium saucepan, melt the butter, corn syrup, and the marshmallows over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. When melted, pour marshmallow mixture over the popcorn mixture. Stir to combine.
• Step 4
  Spoon mixture into the prepared cake pan. Using your hands or the back of a spoon, press firmly so that the mixture is compacted.
• Step 5
  Cover with aluminum foil to keep moist. Let sit for about 3 to 4 hours, or until firm and set. Enjoy!
• Step 6
  To serve, invert the cake pan onto a large plate or platter. Shake gently to release the cake. Serve at room temperature. YIELD: 1 cake, serving 12 to 16
