Instructions

Begin by popping 2 quarts of plain popcorn using your preferred method (air popper, stovetop, or microwave) and set it aside in a large mixing bowl.
2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter until fully liquid.
3
Add the miniature marshmallows to the melted butter and stir continuously until they begin to soften. Remove the pan from the heat before they are completely melted; a few lumps are fine.

Drizzle the colorful marshmallow-gelatin mixture over the popcorn, making sure to spread it evenly. Use a spatula or your hands to gently mix and coat the popcorn thoroughly. Be careful not to crush the popcorn while mixing.
