Scale
Ingredients
-
12 cups plain popped popcorn
-
4 cups coarsely chopped small salted pretzels
-
2 cups sugar
-
1/2 cup water
-
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more for sprinkling
-
2/3 cup heavy cream
-
2 cups miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup candy corn candies
Instructions
-
Spray a 9×13 pan with nonstick spray. In a large bowl, mix together the popcorn and pretzels.
-
Add sugar, water and 1 tsp of kosher salt to a medium pot. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Do not stir the mixture at all! Allow the boiling action do the work for you! Allow to boil until the caramel turns amber in color, about 10-12 minutes.
-
Remove from the heat and pour in the cream. The mixture will sputter so be careful.
-
Swirl in the marshmallows. Stir with a rubber spatula until melted and combined.
-
Pour caramel over the popcorn and stir all together.
-
Stir in candy corn.
-
Transfer to your dish and, with wet hands, press the mixture into your pan. Sprinkle with a few more pinches of kosher salt.
-
Cool completely before cutting into bars.
