Caramel Popcorn Marshmallow Treats and a winner
April 27, 2010
These adorable cupcake wrappers from Bake It Pretty made me start thinking about popcorn desserts.
Since they haven’t come yet I can’t make the cupcakes I have been dreaming up, but I couldn’t get the idea of a popcorn dessert out of my head. These popcorn treats are quick and easy to make. They are the popcorn version of a rice krispe treats with a bit of brown sugar thrown in to add caramel flavor. They aren’t the best thing I have ever eaten for sure, but they are quick to throw together and tasty enough that I kept going back for just a little bit more. The popcorn gives them more chewiness than rice krispies making them a totally different treat. Made in the microwave they are the perfect thing to make with kids. I made mine into bars, but the recipe can also be used to make adorable popcorn pops.
I also want to announce the winner of the giveaway. Congratulations to Nechama who is the winner of Chocolate Obsession by Michael Rechiutti. Email me your address and I will send it to you right away.
