We loved this pop corn! Thank you !
I got so many ideas to change things up like last night I made black popcorn and added broken up Oreos broken up molt balls and gummy bugs and worms also made
Yellow with Mini Vanilla Wafers and candy bits with flowers
I’ve been asked for pink next maybe something with cotton candy and unicorn something I don’t know yet

Hi Candace – We haven’t tried that but I don’t know why it wouldn’t work.

Can I use store bought popcorn like Skinny Pop or is it recommended to use air pop/microwave popcorn?

In reply to Diane. Hi Diane - we like the taste of the marshmallow mixture but I've seen recipes that use the candy melts/white chocolate. As long as you have oil based candy food coloring that should work though. Good luck!

Have you tried tinting white dipping chocolate instead of using melted marshmallows?

In reply to Jessica. Hi Jessica - Yes it can. But it is a little chewier the next day. Our family still likes it the next day (and the day after that!) but it does taste the best freshly made.

Hi I was wondering if this could be made the day before eating it?

In reply to Christy.

Hi Christy – The popcorn is a little bit sticky and the more marshmallow mixture you use the stickier it will be. Here are some tips … 1) use a good food coloring to make sure that the mixture is bright blue. 2) Make sure you are only using 10 cups of popped popcorn. 3) Use a big bowl like the one we are using in the pictures. You really need to churn the popcorn around to get it 100& covered. 3) Don’t slowly drizzle the marshmallow mixture on the popcorn, you need a good amount of it to work with as you are stirring. I usually pour about half the mixture onto the top of the popcorn. Then I give the popcorn a good stir – I usually use a rubber spatula to do the stirring. Then I had half of the remaining mixture and stir it again. You really need to work the popcorn around in the big bowl with the spatula. Hope that helps.

Sorry for the typos, I was typing fast from my phone, how did you get the color to coat the popcorn so evenly? And is the popcorn suppose to be sticky even after it is cooled? Mine came out really sticky even after it was cooled. I couldn’t get the color to coat all the popcorn it kept sticky in clumps and I ran out of the melted marshmallow mixture and it still was barely coated. What am I doing wrong? I am trying to master this so I can make it for a baby shower in a couple of weeks??? HELP??

Question, mine came out really sticky even after it cooled for awhile, what did I do wrong? Also, I did you get your color to distribute so evenly? It seemed like I was running out of the mixtures before it even covered all the popcorn and I was stirring as I was pouring the melted marshmallows over it, HELP!!! I’m trying to make this for a baby shower in a couple of weeks…

Hi Tina, well I guess the important part is that it tasted good.

In reply to Jennet Wright. Hi! We make our own in a pan and add salt. But microwave popcorn will work too. I definitely would pick a salted version with no butter. Hope that helps!
