whether you have or haven't seen the viral marshmallow popcorn recipe yet, consider this your sign that you need it now, because it's an 11/10. i found the idea on tiktok from a creator called @Kerlovich Kitchen and immediately knew i had to try it. then after that, i saw a cake batter version from @kaitlyn and my weekend plans went out the window. after a bit of testing and tweaking of her recipe, here we areeeeeeee! ok no but actually i've eaten this every night this week, enjoy: 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup vanilla cake mix 1 bag (10 oz) marshmallows 2 teaspoons vanilla extract (optional, deepens flavor) 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional, but is it really) 6 cups popped popcorn 1/4 cup sprinkles 1. in a large saucepan over medium low heat, melt the butter. add the cake mix, stirring to combine. cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes (this will heat the flour in the mix so it's not raw). 2. add in the marshmallows, vanilla extract (if using) and salt. the mixture won't come together at first and this is OK! keep stirring until the marshmallows fully melt, then remove from heat. 3. place your popcorn into an extra large bowl. pour the marshmallow mixture over it, then use a spatula to stir to combine. add in sprinkles, stirring in at the very end. enjoy! #viralrecipe #ricekrispies #easysnacks
