Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Place butter, marshmallows, and vanilla extract in a large microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Heat the mixture in the microwave for 30-second increments.
  3. Stir the mixture after each 30-second interval until completely melted and smooth.

  5. Stir gently until the popcorn is fully coated.
  6. Add the red and green M&M's and salted peanuts to the popcorn mixture.
  7. Stir until the candies and peanuts are evenly distributed.
  8. Lightly grease a bundt pan.
  9. Lightly grease your hands.
  10. Firmly press the popcorn mixture into the well-greased bundt pan.
  11. Allow the popcorn cake to stand in the pan for 10 minutes.
  12. Carefully loosen the edges of the cake from the pan.
  13. Turn the cake out onto a platter or cake plate.
  14. Slice the cake carefully using a bread knife.
  15. If desired, decorate with melted Red and Green Candy Melts.
  16. If desired, decorate with sprinkles before the candy melts set.

Notes

Ensure popcorn is completely cooled before mixing to prevent a greasy cake.
Generously grease your hands and the bundt pan to prevent sticking.
For best results, use miniature marshmallows as they melt more evenly.
Pack the popcorn mixture very firmly into the bundt pan to help it hold its shape.
