🍿 Ingredients

(Perfect place for affiliate links to popcorn makers, bundt pans, or holiday candy)

10 cups popped popcorn (about ½ cup unpopped kernels)

1 (10 oz) bag mini marshmallows

3 tbsp butter

1 cup red & green M&M’s

½ cup holiday sprinkles

½ cup chopped pretzels or peanuts (optional)

🎂 Instructions

Grease a bundt pan (or large bowl) with butter or cooking spray.

Pop the popcorn and place it in a large bowl. Remove any unpopped kernels.

In a saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Stir in marshmallows until smooth and fully melted.

Pour the melted mixture over the popcorn and gently stir to coat evenly.

Add M&M’s, sprinkles, and pretzels (if using). Mix gently — don’t crush the candy!

Press the mixture firmly into the bundt pan. Let it cool for 30–45 minutes to set.

Invert onto a plate, slice, and serve. 🎉

💡 Tips & Variations

Use mini marshmallows and colored candy melts for a festive drizzle.

Swap M&M’s for peppermint candies or white chocolate chips.

For birthday parties, change colors to match your theme!
