Marshmallow Peppermint Popcorn image

I got this recipe from good friend of mine. This stuff is seriously addicting! It makes a big batch! Anytime I have family in town I make it so I don't eat the whole batch myself. It is the perfect Christmas treat! You can eat it all year long substitute the candy cane for , heath bits, Recesses pieces, m&m's etc.. Watch out now! I bet you can't eat just one bite!

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup(s) butter
1/2 cup(s) margarine
1 1/3 cup(s) sugar
1/2 cup(s) corn syrup, light
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
1 - 16 oz bag of mini marshmallows (if you can't find a 16 oz bag just use 1 1/2 bags of the 10.5 oz)
2 - gallons of air popped popcorn (or 3 bags of microwave popcorn,use very light butter)
30 - miniature candy canes, crushed

Steps:

  • Melt butter and margarine in a pot. Add the sugar, corn syrup, and vanilla. Boil for 5 minutes on med heat.
  • Layer the popcorn, candy canes and marshmallows in a large bowl or pot.
  • Pour the sauce over and mix well with a large spoon. It can be hard to stir this sticky goodness but it is worth it! You can add more popcorn till it is the consistency you want.
  • When you are done mixing, pour it onto wax paper and spread it out to cool. You can store it in gallon Ziploc bags.
