Creating Santa Crunch Popcorn is a simple and enjoyable process. Follow these steps to make your own batch:
- 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.
- Melt Butter:
- In a medium saucepan, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter over medium heat.
- 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.
- 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.
- Spread the Popcorn:
- Spread the coated popcorn onto a lined cookie sheet using a spatula.
- 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.
- Cool and Serve:
- Allow the popcorn to cool completely.
- Once cooled, break into pieces and serve.
