Ingredients

  • 4 cups popped popcorn

Instructions

  • In a saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar, butter, marshmallows, and corn syrup.
  • Stir and heat until marshmallows are dissolved into the syrup mixture.
  • Gradually add popped popcorn to the marshmallow mixture while stirring to coat, one cup at a time.
