Just so we are clear, this is not a traditional cake decorated to look like a box of movie theater popcorn. This cake is actual popcorn held together with a stick of butter and a bag of melted marshmallows with some kind of candy thrown in just in case it isn’t sweet enough.
Do I really need to say anything more about this cake? This cake has been in my family since I was a little kid. You really can use any candy here but gummy candies or chocolate work the best. Yes, you can use microwave popcorn but why would you want to? Stove top popcorn is so easy to make and tastes so much better. By the way, this recipe is not small batch.
Popcorn Cake
From A Recipe My Mom Gave Me
20 cups of popped popcorn, remove unpopped corn kernels
1 stick of butter
1 16 oz bag of mini marshmallows or 1 12 oz bag regular marshmallows
1 10 – 12 oz bag M n M’s
Pop your popcorn and sift through it for any unpopped kernels. Place in very large bowl. In a medium sauce pan, over medium heat, melt the stick of butter. Add the marshmallows. Stir the marshmallows until they are melted, smooth and mixed with the butter. Let the marshmallows sit a minute or two, off heat, to cool. Pour the marshmallows into the popcorn, add the M n M’s and mix, with hands coated in butter until well combined. Pack into a well buttered Angel food cake pan or Bundt pan. Let sit for 1 hour before serving.
