→ Main Ingredients

01 - 12 cups freshly popped popcorn (approximately 120 grams unpopped kernels)
02 - 115 grams unsalted butter
03 - 200 grams packed brown sugar
04 - 30 millilitres light corn syrup
05 - 285 grams large marshmallows (about 35 pieces)
06 - 5 millilitres pure vanilla extract

# Steps:

01 - Pop the kernels using an air popper, stovetop pan, or microwave according to preference. Transfer the popped popcorn into a large bowl and discard any unpopped kernels.
02 - Melt butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and corn syrup. Stir consistently until the mixture is fully combined and sugar dissolves.
03 - Reduce heat to medium-low. Incorporate large marshmallows into the saucepan and stir continuously until melted and the mixture is smooth.
04 - Remove the saucepan from heat and blend in vanilla extract thoroughly.
05 - Immediately pour the hot caramel-marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and gently stir with a spatula until every kernel is evenly coated.
06 - Transfer coated popcorn onto a large, foil-lined baking sheet lightly sprayed with non-stick cooking spray. Spread into an even layer and allow to set at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.
07 - Once cool and set, break popcorn into clusters for serving. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

# Notes & Tips:

01 - Enhance texture by adding nuts or pretzel pieces before the mixture sets, or drizzle with melted chocolate for a richer flavour.
