Ingredients
– 10 cups popped popcorn [the base of the snack]
– Salt to taste [seasons the hot popcorn to balance sweet marshmallow]
– 3 tablespoons sweet cream salted butter [melts into the marshmallow for richness]
– 3 cups mini marshmallows [creates the sticky, sweet coating]
– Blue and yellow food coloring [mix yellow until bright, then a tiny drop of blue to make green]
– 1/2 cup mini marshmallows [for topping, adds texture and a cute snowy look]
– Red candies (approximately 1/2 cup) [for topping, decorative accents that look like a Grinch-sized grin]
– 8 cups plain popped popcorn
– 4 cups mini marshmallows
– 3 tablespoons butter
– green food coloring (about 10-15 drops)
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1-2 teaspoons sea salt
– red candy hearts or sprinkles [optional add-ins]
– 1/4 cup popcorn kernels
– 2 tablespoons oil
– 1-2 teaspoons sea salt or popcorn salt
Notes
🍿 Use freshly popped stove-top popcorn for best taste, but air-popped or microwave without butter flavoring works
🧂 Salt generously on hot popcorn for balanced sweet and salty flavor
🎂 Remove all un-popped kernels to avoid unpleasant bites
