Patriotic Popcorn Cake

Quick Cooking

"My mother gave me this recipe, and it has been a bake sale and holiday favorite ever since," relates Teresa Lerret from Vacaville, California. "Kids and adults love the caramel popcorn taste. For faster preparation, use microwave popcorn," she suggests.

SERVINGS: 16-18

CATEGORY: Dessert

METHOD: Microwave

TIME: Prep/Total Time: 10 min.

Ingredients:

  • 1 package (16 ounces) miniature marshmallows
  • 20 caramels
  • 1/4 cup butter, cubed
  • 10 cups popped popcorn
  • 1-1/2 cups salted peanuts
  • 1 cup red, white and blue milk chocolate M&M's

Directions:

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the marshmallows, caramels and butter. Microwave, uncovered, on high for 3 minutes or until melted, stirring occasionally. Place the popcorn in a large bowl; pour caramel mixture over popcorn and mix well.
    Stir in peanuts and M&M's. Press into a well-greased 10-in. tube pan. Cool until firm. Remove from pan; cut with a serrated knife. Yield: 16-18 servings. Editor's Note: This recipe was tested with Hershey caramels in a 1,100-watt microwave.
