Tips & Tricks

• Choose the right popcorn: For the foundation of your Marshmallow Caramel Popcorn, select a high-quality homemade popcorn. This will ensure a better texture and flavor.
• Evenly coat the popcorn: To ensure every piece of Marshmallow Popcorn is deliciously covered in caramel, use a wide bowl and gently fold in the caramel and marshmallows. This prevents any soggy spots or unevenly coated popcorn.
• Prevent sticking: Before mixing in the Marshmallow Caramel, lightly grease your mixing bowl and utensils. This simple trick helps in easy cleanup and avoids a sticky mess.
• Experiment with add-ins: Caramel Popcorn is wonderfully versatile. Feel free to add nuts, chocolate chips, or even a pinch of sea salt for an enhanced flavor profile. Discovering your personal favorite version is part of the fun.
