Equipment

Large mixing bowl
Medium saucepan
Wooden spoon or heatproof spatula
Baking sheet (large)
Parchment paper
Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

10 cups popped popcorn plain or lightly salted
2 to 2¼ cups mini marshmallows
3 tablespoons butter
1¼ cups chocolate chips divided
1 cup graham crackers broken into ½–1 inch pieces
¼ teaspoon salt

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Popcorn

Place popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl and remove any unpopped kernels.

Step 2: Melt the Marshmallow Mixture

In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter and marshmallows, stirring until fully smooth. Do not let the mixture boil. Remove from heat as soon as melted.

Step 3: Coat the Popcorn

Slowly drizzle the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn while gently tossing to evenly coat. Work quickly while the mixture is warm.

Step 4: Add First Chocolate Layer

Immediately add ½ cup chocolate chips and mix lightly so they begin to melt and coat the popcorn.

Step 5: Cool Slightly

Let the mixture sit for 1–2 minutes, until warm but not hot to the touch.

Step 6: Add Remaining Mix-ins

Add the remaining chocolate chips and graham cracker pieces. Toss gently to combine.

Step 7: Spread and Set

Spread the popcorn in a loose, single layer on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Do not press down.

Step 8: Finish and Serve

Sprinkle with salt. As the popcorn sets, check and remove any remaining unpopped kernels. Let cool slightly, then break into clusters and serve.

Notes

🍿 Use the Right Popcorn

Use freshly popped popcorn that is plain or lightly salted for the best texture and flavor. Avoid heavily buttered microwave popcorn, as it can make the coating greasy and prevent it from sticking properly.

🔥 Melt Marshmallows Gently

Melt the marshmallows and butter over low heat and remove from the heat as soon as the mixture is fully smooth. Do not let it boil, as overheating can create a grainy texture and make mixing difficult.

⚡ Work Quickly When Mixing

Work quickly when coating the popcorn, since the marshmallow mixture sets fast. Drizzle it over the popcorn while tossing to ensure even coverage without creating sticky clumps.

🍫 Get the Perfect Chocolate Texture

For the best chocolate texture, add part of the chocolate chips while the popcorn is still hot so they melt slightly, then add the remaining chocolate once the mixture has cooled to warm. This creates a mix of melted coating and soft chocolate pieces.

🍪 Keep Graham Crackers Chunky

Break graham crackers into ½–1 inch chunks instead of crumbs so they stay crisp and provide texture in every bite.

📏 Spread, Don’t Press

Spread the popcorn in a loose, single layer on a baking sheet and avoid pressing it down, which can make it dense instead of light and clustered.

⚠️ Remove Hidden Kernels

As you spread the mixture, check for and remove any remaining unpopped kernels to prevent hard bites.
