This recipe comes from my boyfriend's mom, and it looks like the perfect kind of yummy treat to take to holiday parties. She suggests using holiday-appropriate M&Ms to make it fun and festive. I'm definitely making this for our "Ugly Sweater Holiday Party" this year - yum!
Ingredients
2 teaspoons plus 1/4 vegetable oil
12 cups popped popcorn (be sure to use plain, unsalted, unbuttered popcorn)
2 cups M&Ms candies
1 cup lightly salted cocktail peanuts
1 stick unsalted butter
1 pound marshmallows
Directions
Grease a large cake pan with 2 teaspoons oil, set aside. In large bowl, mix the popped corn with the candies and peanuts. In a small saucepan, melt the butter, remaning 1/4 cup of oil, and marshmallows over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally. When mixture has melted, pour over popcorn mix, then stir to combine. Pour into cake pan, press down firmly to fit, then cover with aluminum foil and allow it to rest until firm (about 3-4 hours). To serve, invert cake onto a large platter and shake gently to release. Serve at room temperature in small slices. Enjoy and happy holidays!
