Instructions

Creating Santa Crunch Popcorn is a simple and enjoyable process. Follow these steps to make your own batch:

  1. Pop the Popcorn:
    • Begin by popping 10 cups of popcorn. Make sure to remove any un-popped kernels to ensure the best texture.
    • Sprinkle the popcorn with a pinch of salt and set aside in a large bowl.
  2. Melt Butter:
    • In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
  3. Melt Marshmallows:
    • Add 3 cups of mini marshmallows to the melted butter. Stir continuously until the marshmallows are fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Coat the Popcorn:
    • Pour one-third of the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn.
    • Mix gently to combine, ensuring the popcorn is evenly coated.
    • Gradually add the remaining marshmallow mixture, stirring until all popcorn is well-coated.
  5. Spread the Popcorn:
    • Spread the coated popcorn onto a lined cookie sheet using a spatula.
  6. Add Toppings:
    • While the popcorn is still warm, generously sprinkle with regular M&Ms, pretzel M&Ms, mini M&Ms, mini marshmallows, and Christmas sprinkles.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    • Allow the popcorn to cool completely.
    • Once cooled, break into pieces and serve.
