Ingredients

  • 10 cups of Popped Popcorn (Salted)

  3. Add the 1/2 cup of Yellow Cake Mix to the marshmallow mixture.
  4. Slowly pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn in the bowl and stir until most of the kernels are covered in mixture.

Notes

Heat Treating the Cake Mix
If you are worried about eating the raw flour in the cake mix you can bake the 1/2 cup of cake mix in a low oven for 15 minutes.  Also, you will be adding the cake mix to a very hot mixture of melted marshmallows and butter so it will get slightly cooked during that process.
