Ingredients
  

For the treats
  • 1 bag microwave popcorn Use any flavor you prefer.
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows These will be melted into the butter.
  • 1/4 cup butter Can use plant-based butter for a Halal option.
  • 1/2 cup Funfetti cake mix Adds flavor and color to the popcorn.
  • 1/4 cup sprinkles Use colorful sprinkles for visual appeal.
  • 1 pinch salt Enhances the flavors of the treat.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Begin by popping the bag of microwave popcorn according to package instructions. Once ready, pour it into a large mixing bowl and take out any unpopped kernels.
  2. In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, add in the mini marshmallows and stir continuously until they are completely melted and silky smooth.
  3. Carefully pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popped popcorn, ensuring even coverage. Gently toss the popcorn using a spatula or your hands (coated lightly in butter to prevent sticking).
  4. Sprinkle the Funfetti cake mix and a pinch of salt over the marshmallow-covered popcorn. Toss again until everything is evenly mixed. Feel free to add extra sprinkles for a colorful flair!
  5. Transfer the mixture onto a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Use your hands to press it down firmly, creating a compact layer. Allow it to cool for about 10-15 minutes.
  6. Once the Funfetti Marshmallow Popcorn Treats have set, break them into pieces and serve! Enjoy them fresh or store them in an airtight container to savor later.

Notes

For Halal-friendly substitutes, use plant-based butter. Work quickly to prevent marshmallows from hardening; melt them over low heat to avoid burning.
