Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Popcorn
Pop the popcorn using your preferred method (air-popped, stovetop, or microwave).
Place the popcorn in a large mixing bowl, ensuring there are no unpopped kernels. Set aside.
Step 2: Make the Caramel Sauce
In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Stir in the brown sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring constantly.
Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 minutes without stirring.
Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract and mini marshmallows until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Coat the Popcorn
Pour the warm marshmallow caramel sauce over the popcorn.
Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently toss the popcorn until it’s evenly coated with the caramel.
Step 4: Cool and Serve
Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Let it cool for 10-15 minutes to set slightly.
Break into pieces and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
