Ingredients

Popcorn

  • 12 cups popped popcorn (about ½ cup unpopped kernels)

Coating and Toppings

  • 1 cup green candy melts
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows
  • ½ cup green sprinkles
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

  1. Pop the Popcorn: Begin by popping the popcorn kernels using an air popper or stovetop method. Once popped, measure out approximately 12 cups of popcorn and place it in a large mixing bowl.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the popcorn from sticking when coating.
  3. Melt Candy Coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the green candy melts in 30-second increments. Stir after each interval until the candy melts are smooth and fully melted.
  4. Coat Popcorn: Pour the melted green candy over the popcorn in the mixing bowl. Using a baking spatula or spoon, gently toss the popcorn to ensure it is evenly coated with the candy melts.
  5. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the mini marshmallows, green sprinkles, and salt evenly over the coated popcorn. Toss gently again to distribute the toppings throughout the mixture.
  6. Set the Popcorn: Spread the coated and topped popcorn mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow it to cool for several minutes to let the candy harden and set.
  7. Serve or Store: Once cooled and hardened, break the popcorn into pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
  8. Optional Customization: For added flavor and texture, consider mixing in crushed pretzels or nuts. To enhance the Grinch theme, add some red candy or chocolate pieces for a pop of festive color.

Notes

  • This popcorn is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to one week at room temperature.
  • Use parchment paper on the baking sheet to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Customize your toppings to your liking, including nuts, pretzels, or additional candy pieces for more texture.
  • Be gentle when tossing the popcorn to avoid breaking the kernels and toppings.
