This gooey Marshmallow Popcorn recipe is easy to make and will be devoured quickly. It’s sweet, salty, and gooey. It’s addictive so make sure you find a stopping point or you’ll eat the whole batch by yourself!

You can make it festive by adding red & green M&Ms for Christmas; or red, white and blue M&Ms for 4th of July, or add other candies or nuts to it to jazz it up to your liking. We like it best just sprinkled with flaky sea salt after it’s been spread on the parchment paper to cool.

This Marshmallow Popcorn is best served right away, but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Enjoy!

  4. Pour butter and marshmallow mixture over popcorn and gently stir until all the popcorn has been coated. Spread onto parchment paper and sprinkle with flaky salt or coarse sea salt, you want it to be sweet and salty so don't under salt the popcorn. Top with other items you may want, if desired.
