Caramel Marshmallow Popcorn

Hi everyone!  I’m Melissa, from Melissa’s Cuisine, and I’m thrilled to be back again to share a recipe with you today.  This Caramel Marshmallow Popcorn is a fun twist on traditional caramel corn.  It’s sticky and absolutely delicious!
 
I don’t know about you, but I am a huge snacker!  I love to have a little snack to munch on while I’m working on the computer or watching television.  Typically my snack is a bowl of fruit, but sometimes that just doesn’t cut it for me.  Sometimes my sweet tooth needs something a little more sweet 😉

Last weekend my family was planning to watch a TV show together.  I thought some popcorn sounded like a fun treat, so I headed to the kitchen to make some.  I love using my air popper for a fresh and healthy snack!  However, this time I veered a little from the healthy side of things and decided to kick the popcorn up a notch.  

I made a caramel marshmallow topping that I covered the popcorn with.  After letting it cool for a little while, we were ready to dig in. This popcorn was a huge hit with my family–my husband, who isn’t a popcorn love, loved it!  And my little girl just couldn’t get enough.  Each time she saw the container sitting on the counter, she would point at it until I gave her a piece.  I think she has her mommy’s sweet tooth…
