Candy Popcorn

**I gave this to the teachers and staff at our school on the last day because (let's be honest) we love them! Anyway, we LOVE this! I think I got it from Sentiments from my Kitchen (but I'll have to check…)!


Candy Popcorn


In a large bowl, mix:


2 bags of microwave popcorn (I use about 12 cups of homemade)

1 bag of mini-marshmallows



In a pan, add:


1 1/2 cups sugar

1 cup butter

1/2 cup Karo Syrup



Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.



Chop candybars or pour in you choice of candy. Some options:



  • about 8 regular size Reeses Peanut butter cups
  • about 40 Hershey's kisses (I used Mint Truffle last night and they were a hit!)
  • 1 theater size box of Junior Mints
  • about 30 Oreo cookies crushed
  • a package of Chips Ahoy cookies, crushed
  • get original, try something you love!


Add the candy or cookies to the popcorn. Pour the hot syrup over the popcorn. Put into a well-buttered 9x13" pan and cut like Rice Krispie treats or toss in a large bowl and serve with a scoop or spoon. Enjoy!
