Popcorn Mix
- 5 cups popped popcorn
- 1 cup Golden Grahams cereal
- 1 cup mini chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Melted Marshmallow Mixture
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup mini marshmallows
Chocolate Drizzle
- 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, fold together the popped popcorn, Golden Grahams cereal, 1 cup of mini chocolate chips, and 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows using a rubber spatula, ensuring everything is evenly mixed.
- Melt Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat, continuing to cook until the butter turns golden brown. Then add 1/2 cup of mini marshmallows and stir continuously until the marshmallows have completely melted and formed a smooth, golden mixture.
- Combine Mixtures: Spread the popcorn mixture onto a cookie sheet in an even layer. Drizzle the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn, using the heat to help bind the ingredients together.
- Drizzle Melted Chocolate: Microwave 1/2 cup of mini chocolate chips in 30-second intervals, stirring between sessions, until fully melted. Using a spoon, drizzle the melted chocolate evenly over the popcorn mixture for an extra chocolatey touch.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the popcorn mixture to cool completely on the cookie sheet. Once cooled and set, break it into clusters and serve as a delicious, sweet treat for your movie night or snack time.
Notes
- Use fresh popped popcorn for the best texture; avoid microwave popcorn with added flavors or butter.
- Golden Grahams add a nice crunch and authentic s’mores flavor–graham cracker element.
- The butter should be browned lightly to add a nutty flavor, but be careful not to burn it.
- Melting chocolate chips in short bursts in the microwave and stirring frequently prevents burning.
- This snack can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
- Feel free to customize with different types of chocolate or add peanuts for extra crunch.
