Instructions

Pop the Popcorn – Pop the kernels using an air popper or stovetop method. Remove any unpopped kernels and place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
Make the Caramel – In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring to a boil and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly.
Add Marshmallows – Reduce the heat to low and add the marshmallows. Stir until fully melted and smooth.
Coat the Popcorn – Pour the warm caramel-marshmallow mixture over the popcorn. Gently stir with a spatula until all the popcorn is evenly coated.
Let it Set – Spread the coated popcorn onto a lined baking sheet and let it cool for about 15 minutes.
Break Apart & Enjoy – Once cooled, break into pieces and serve!

Notes

Make it Crunchy – If you prefer a crunchier caramel corn, bake it at 250°F (120°C) for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Add Extra Flavor – Mix in chopped nuts, chocolate chips, or crushed pretzels for a fun twist!
Storage – Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
