Sweet and crunchy popcorn marshmallow squares studded with chocolate chips make a fun, easy-to-make treat.
Prep Time20 minutes
Total Time20 minutes
Servings: 8 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 bag (about 3.3 oz) microwave popcorn, popped about 3.3 ounces; remove unpopped kernels
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 6 cups mini marshmallows
  • 1 cup mini chocolate chips

Instructions

  • Coat a 9x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray and set aside.
  • Inspect the popped popcorn and pick out any unpopped kernels.
  • Place the butter in a very large microwave-safe bowl and microwave 30–45 seconds until melted.
  • Add the marshmallows to the melted butter; stir to coat, then microwave 1½ minutes total, stirring after 45 seconds, until marshmallows are fully melted and smooth.
  • Carefully add the popped popcorn to the melted marshmallow mixture and gently stir to combine.
  • Stir in the mini chocolate chips until evenly distributed, then immediately transfer the mixture to the prepared pan.
  • Spray your hands with cooking spray and firmly press the mixture into the pan to compact it; let cool completely before slicing (refrigerate to speed cooling if desired).

Equipment

  • 9x9-inch baking dish
  • large microwave-safe bowl
  • spatula or wooden spoon
  • cooking spray

Notes

  • Remove unpopped kernels to avoid accidental biting.
  • Press mixture firmly to create compact bars.
  • Work quickly once chocolate chips are added so they don't melt completely.
