Marshmallow Caramel Popcorn in white and red bowl.

Who doesn’t like a salty-sweet treat? With tons of brown sugar, butter, and marshmallows, this Marshmallow Caramel Popcorn is a little heavier on the sweet.  It’s buttery, ooey, gooey, deliciousness at its best.

Warning: You may want to portion off a small portion because once you get started popping these soft, caramel popcorn pieces in your mouth, you won’t be able to stop.

If savory popcorn is more your thing, give this Rosemary Olive Oil Popcorn a try. I love the flavor combination.

For the popcorn, I used Madison Park Food’s Petite Maize Popping Seeds. They are a brand new company and their popcorn seeds are an all-natural, non-GMO product that is produced through open-pollination (ie the old-fashioned way) and harvested and processed by family farmers. What is really great about this product is the seeds are “hulless”, meaning they have a very soft and small hull that won’t cause problems with dental issues. Or give dental issues to people who don’t have them. 🙂

    Are you sure about the 2 minutes the butter and brown sugar boil in the microwave?
    Is it supposed to turn out hardened?
    thanks,
    Barbara
