Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 12 cups popped popcorn
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows (about 6 cups)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup funfetti sprinkles plus more for topping
  • 1/4 tsp salt (optional)

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • Large saucepan
  • Rubber spatula
  • 9x13 inch baking dish

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the popped popcorn and salt, if using.
  2. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter. Add the marshmallows and stir constantly until completely melted and smooth; then remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn in the large bowl. Add 1/2 cup of funfetti sprinkles and mix gently with a greased spatula until the popcorn is evenly coated.
  4. Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Using a greased spatula or your greased hands, press the mixture firmly and evenly into the dish. Top with additional sprinkles, if desired, and let cool completely before cutting into squares.

Notes

For best results, use fresh popcorn and press the mixture firmly into the dish. Lightly grease your hands or the spatula with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking when pressing the treats.
