Grinch Popcorn
Our Grinch Popcorn is the perfect Grinch movie watching snack. We jazzed this popcorn up with melted marshmallows, butter, and brown sugar for a salty sweet snack that everyone will love. Of course, it is GREEN, too! With red M&Ms channeling the Grinch’s growing heart.
We love taking popcorn to the next level by adding fun, and also yummy, ingredients to the mix. This recipe reminds us of Rice Krispie treats in popcorn form, with some chocolate thrown in for good measure.
Ingredients
- 13 cups popped popcorn (about 1-2 bags)
- 2 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- Neon green gel food coloring
- Red M&Ms
How to Make It
Step 1: To a medium saucepan, add miniature marshmallows, butter, and brown sugar.
Step 2: Heat over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until melted.
Step 3: Add a generous amount of green gel food coloring, and stir until color is incorporated.
Step 4: Add the popcorn to a large baking pan lined with parchment paper.
Step 5: Drizzle the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn, and toss.
Step 6: When serving, sprinkle the popcorn with red M&Ms.
Tips
Can I make this without the food coloring?
Absolutely, you can follow the same directions, and just omit the food coloring. To keep the Christmas twist, you could add red and green M&M candies.
- Make extra sure you have picked out any and all kernels from your popcorn before making this.
- You could use any color combination of M&Ms to make this fun popcorn for any season or event.
- Work quickly to toss the popcorn before the marshmallow mixture starts too cool too much.
