Instructions

1. Pop 10 cups of popcorn and remove all of the un-popped kernels. Salt it liberally and set aside in a large bowl.
2. Add 3 tablespoons of butter to a medium saucepan.  Melt the butter on medium heat, stirring occasionally until the butter is completely melted.
3. Add 3 cups of mini marshmallows to the melted butter.
4. Stir until the marshmallows are covered in the butter, and then continue to stir until the marshmallows are completely melted.
5. Take the marshmallow mixture off of the heat as soon as the last marshmallow has melted.
6. Add the yellow food coloring to the marshmallow mixture - we used 4 drops of Wilton Yellow Food Coloring.
7. Slowly pour about a third of the marshmallow mixture over the salted popcorn.
8. Gently fold the marshmallow mixture in with the popcorn.  Continue to add the marshmallow mixture a bit at a time, stirring between each addition. The popcorn should be completely covered in the warm marshmallow mixture. 
9. Now pour the popcorn onto a cookie sheet covered with parchment paper, foil, or a Silpat liner. Use the spatula to even the popcorn out on the cookie sheet.
10. Now it is time to add the blue M&M’s, Mini M&M’s, Pretzel M&M’s, and the candy eyes.  Don’t wait too long after you pour the popcorn onto the cookie sheet. You want the marshmallow mixture to still be warm and sticky. Sprinkle the M&M’s onto the popcorn, concentrating on the areas with the most drizzled marshmallow mixture. We strategically placed the Wilton Candy Eyes together throughout the popcorn.
11. Allow the Minions Popcorn to cool. Break apart into pieces and serve.
