Get the Recipe: Popcorn Bars
These popcorn bars are sticky, sweet, gooey and fun! They take only a few ingredients and a few minutes to make. They are fun for both kids and adults. Make them for birthdays, holidays, parties, entertaining or after school snacks!
Ingredients
- 12 cups popcorn
- 2 tbsp butter
- 10 ounces marshmallows
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- ⅓ cup sprinkles
- 2 tbsp melted chocolate
Instructions
- First, line a 9 inch by 13 inch pan with parchment paper.
- Add butter to a stock pot over low medium heat. Once melted, add in the marshmallows and vanilla extract. Continue stirring and cooking until completely melted.
- Add in the popcorn. Stir until popcorn is completely coated. Add in half of the sprinkles and stir to combine.
- Transfer the mixture to the lined pan. Use a spatula to press down into one even layer.
- Drizzle melted chocolate and remaining sprinkles on top.
- Allow bars to rest for 10 to 15 minutes to set. Then, slice into bars and enjoy!
Notes
- Any type of popcorn can be used.
- I recommend not using popcorn that is already too sweet. The marshmallow coating will add additional sweetness.
- For this recipe, I used almost a full 7 ounce bag of Smartfood popcorn.
- The sprinkles and chocolate are totally optional.
- Use parchment paper to help lift the bars out of the pan.
- Store bars covered at room temperature for up to 2 days. After that, the popcorn starts to become stale.
