If you are bored of regular Rice Krispy Treats and want to mix things up a little bit, this is a variation. You use popcorn instead of Rice Krispies. It is a little messier to make, and it is a little harder to make sure that all of the popcorn is coated equally with the marshmallows. In the end though, it is very tasty, and my kids loved it. I can imagine using food coloring, or throwing in other ingredients to jazz it up a little more as well.
Marshmallow Popcorn Bars2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for the dish
1/2 cup popcorn kernels or one 3.5 ounce package plain microwave popcorn
1 10 ounce bag marshmallows
1. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Pop the popcorn according to the package directions.
2. Melt the butter and marshmallows in a large saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring until smooth, 5 to 7 minutes.
3. Fold in the popcorn until coated. Press into the prepared dish and let sit for 10 minutes before cutting into 24 bars.
Tip: The bars are best served within 6 hours but can be made and stored at room temperatuire, covered, up to 1 day in advance. (The longer they sit, the harder they will get, so fresher is MUCH better).
