Smores Popcorn Recipes

Steps:

• Combine the brown sugar, butter and corn syrup in a medium saucepan.
• Cook on high for 5 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the baking soda.
• Thoroughly combine the popcorn and marshmallows in a large metal bowl. (Do NOT use a plastic bowl).
• Drizzle the sugar mixture over the popcorn to coat it.
• Gently stir in the graham crackers and chocolate chips, incorporating them evenly throughout the mixture.
• Let the mixture set until cool enough to handle, then, using buttered plastic sandwich bags on your hands, form the mixture into golf-ball-size balls.
• Store in airtight container.
• NOTE: Do NOT use air-popped popcorn. It will melt when combined with the hot sugar mixture.

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan over high heat for 3 minutes. Add the oil and the popcorn kernels, and cover the pan with a lid. Cook, shaking the pan frequently, until you begin to hear popping. Cook on high for 1 minute more, then lower the heat to medium and continue cooking, shaking the pan, until the popping begins to slow down.
• Turn off the heat and pour the popcorn into a large bowl. Toss with the melted butter, salt and graham cracker crumbs. Add the marshmallows and toss again. Spread the mixture out on a parchment-lined baking sheet and drizzle with the chocolate. Toss gently to incorporate. Set aside until the chocolate hardens, about 1 hour. Store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with silicone baking mats or wax paper.
• Place the popcorn, marshmallows, chocolate chips and graham crackers in a large bowl; do not combine yet.
• Combine the butter, granulated sugar, brown sugar and corn syrup in a medium saucepan fitted with a candy thermometer. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring until the butter is melted and the ingredients are completely combined, about 5 minutes.
• Continue to boil the sugar, no longer stirring, until it reaches the firm-ball stage, 245 degrees F, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove the sugar from the heat and add the salt and baking soda.
• Spray a rubber spatula with cooking spray. Immediately pour the sugar over the popcorn mixture and, using the greased spatula, carefully fold all the ingredients together. Spread the mixture evenly over the prepared baking sheets and bake until lightly browned and crispy and the chocolate and marshmallows are fully melted, about 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool at least 1 hour in a cool dry place until the chocolate sets.

Steps:

• Line 2 large rimmed pans with cooking parchment paper. Divide popcorn, granola bar pieces and marshmallows between pans. Spread evenly.
• In small microwavable bowl, microwave chocolate chips uncovered on High 1 minute; stir. Heat another 15 to 30 seconds on High; stir until smooth and fully melted. Spoon and drizzle melted chocolate evenly over popcorn mixture.
• Refrigerate mixture on pans 20 to 30 minutes or until chocolate is set. Break into pieces; toss to combine.
