Ingredients
Scale
Popcorn Mixture
- 3 tbsp butter
- 7 cups popcorn
- 50 regular size marshmallows
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 scoop cake batter protein powder
Topping
- Funfetti sprinkles (to taste)
Instructions
- Prepare Butter and Marshmallows: In a large saucepan over low heat, melt the butter completely. Add the marshmallows and stir continuously until the marshmallows melt and combine smoothly with the butter.
- Add Flavorings: Remove the saucepan from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and cake batter protein powder until fully incorporated, creating a sweet, fragrant marshmallow sauce.
- Combine with Popcorn: Immediately pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn in a large bowl. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently fold and toss the popcorn until it is evenly coated with the marshmallow mixture.
- Add Sprinkles: Quickly sprinkle funfetti sprinkles over the coated popcorn while it’s still sticky so they adhere well.
- Shape and Cool: Lightly grease your hands with butter or cooking spray and press the coated popcorn mixture into a greased baking pan or mold to form an even layer. Let it cool completely at room temperature until set and firm, about 30 minutes.
- Serve: Once firm, cut into squares or desired shapes and serve your festive Funfetti Marshmallow Popcorn Treats immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
Notes
- Use fresh marshmallows for best melting results.
- For easier handling, lightly butter your hands before pressing the mixture.
- Funfetti sprinkles add a colorful, festive touch but can be omitted if desired.
- Store treats in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
- You can substitute cake batter protein powder with any other protein powder or powdered sugar if preferred.
