Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 7

Nonstick cooking spray
12 cups plain popped popcorn (from 1/2 cup kernels or 2 microwave packages)
4 cups coarsely chopped small salted pretzels (7.5 ounces)
2 cups sugar
Coarse salt
2/3 cup heavy cream
2 cups miniature marshmallows

Steps:

  • Coat a 9-by-13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In a large bowl, toss together popcorn and pretzels. In a medium saucepan, bring sugar, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup water to a boil over medium-high. Boil, undisturbed, until mixture is amber in color, 8 to 12 minutes. Remove pan from heat and slowly pour in cream (mixture will sputter). Immediately add marshmallows; stir until melted.
  • Pour caramel mixture over popcorn and pretzels and quickly stir with a rubber spatula to coat. Transfer mixture to dish and use a piece of plastic wrap coated with cooking spray to press evenly into dish. Sprinkle with coarse salt if desired. Let cool completely before cutting into 12 bars.

I don't recommend this recipe. The bars are really dry and they don't taste very good.

These bars are really easy to make, but they're not as good as I was hoping. The caramel is a little too hard and the popcorn is a little too chewy.

I had a hard time finding all of the ingredients for this recipe. I had to go to three different stores to find everything.

These bars are really good, but they're a little too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using a little less sugar next time.

I had a little trouble getting the caramel to the right consistency. It was a little too runny at first, but I eventually got it right.

I'm not a big fan of caramel, but these bars are still really good. The popcorn and pretzels balance out the sweetness of the caramel perfectly.
