Sticky Popcorn image

This wonderful candy popcorn is from Annette B. in my church cookbook. We prefer it made with cashews and Reese's pieces as they have the perfect fall colors. Use seasonally colored M&M's for other holidays. It doesn't get hard like some popcorn recipes and is best eaten the day it is made. This makes lots and is great to give away.

Number Of Ingredients 9

5 quarts popped popcorn, with unpopped kernels removed (about 3/4 cup kernels)

Steps:

  • In a very large microwaveable bowl (mine holds 32 cups) combine popcorn, marshmallows, and nuts; set aside.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium high heat, bring salt, butter, sugar, and corn syrup to a boil for 3 minutes; stirring constantly.
  • Remove from heat and add vanilla (careful, it boils up a bit).
