S'mores Popcorn


S'mores Popcorn

Summer is officially here and if there’s one thing that screams summertime it would have to be s’mores! There are s’more blizzards, waffles, pies, brownies and even cupcake mixes so we thought why not try something new? We decided to pair s’mores with one of our favorite snack foods: microwave popcorn!

Also, check out these awesome marshmallows made specifically for s’mores! 



Ingredients:

1 bag microwave popcorn
2 Tbsp butter
4 square s’more marshmallows
1 Hershey’s milk chocolate bar
1 whole graham cracker (2 squares)

Directions:

Pop your popcorn in the microwave, pour into a large bowl and set aside to cool.
It’s also a good idea to take out any unpopped kernels at this point.

In a nonstick pot, add the butter and place on the stove at medium-high heat until the butter melts. 

 
Add marshmallows and stir until completely melted. 


Continue stirring the marshmallows until they turn into a smooth, syrupy consistency. 


Remove from heat and pour over popcorn, stirring to coat evenly.

In a small bowl, break the chocolate bar into pieces and microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is completely melted and easy to drizzle. 


Drizzle the chocolate over the popcorn. 
You can stir to coat the popcorn evenly or leave the chocolate drizzled in a pretty pattern. 


In a small Ziploc bag, crunch the graham cracker with your fingers, until there are no large chunks left. 
Sprinkle the graham cracker crumbs over the popcorn.



This recipe is a fun snack for a family movie night or on those rainy days when you can’t sit outside with a campfire and toast marshmallows. It’s quick, easy and has all of the flavors of your favorite summertime treat with less mess. 

Enjoy!
