Popcorn Cake

(Rita Meyer)

1 (10.5 oz.) bag marshmallows (mini or large)

4 tbsp. butter

6 to 8 cups popped popcorn

1/2 cup roasted peanuts

1/2 cup M&M’s

1 cup gummy bears

Butter a bundt pan.

In large bowl, melt marshmallows and butter together in microwave (about one and a half to two minutes). Stir well. Mix in the next four ingredients. Spoon into buttered bundt pan.  Press down slightly.  

Let the mixture set before removing from the pan.

“Jujubes, red licorice bites or any chewy candy you like can be substituted for the gummy bears,” said Rita, who writes The Visitor’s ‘From the Home Front’ column. “It’s my sister Kathy’s favorite Christmas treat. I’ve made it since my high school days.”
