Equipment

Ingredients

1 bag (17 ounces) mini marshmallows
1/2 cup salted butter, plus more to grease Bundt pan
18 cups popped corn See notes for how to pop the popcorn
1 package Halloween M&M candies
1/2 cup white chocolate chips
sprinkles
salt to taste (for popcorn)

Instructions

Place the popped corn in a very large bowl and set aside. Grease a 12-Cup Bundt pan generously with butter.
In a large saucepan over low heat, combine the marshmallows and ½ cup butter. Stir constantly until the marshmallows are completely melted and smooth. Remove from the heat.
Pour the melted mixture over the popcorn in the bowl. Stir until all of the popcorn is evenly coated, then mix in your chosen candies. With buttered hands, press the mixture firmly into the prepared Bundt pan. Cover with plastic wrap and let it set at room temperature for about an hour. (Do not refrigerate, as it will harden too much.)
Once set, carefully remove the popcorn cake from the pan and transfer to a serving platter. Melt white chocolate and drizzle over the top, then add sprinkles before the chocolate sets. Allow the chocolate to harden completely before slicing and serving. This cake is best enjoyed immediately or within 24 hours. Keep covered at room temperature. (Do not refrigerate.)

Notes

To make 18 cups of popcorn, use 1 cup of kernels and 6 tablespoons of vegetable oil, prepared in two batches. For each batch, heat 3 tablespoons of oil in a large heavy saucepan over medium-low heat (I used an enameled cast iron pot). Add ½ cup of kernels, cover, and let pop for 2–3 minutes. As soon as the popping slows to a stop, remove from heat immediately to avoid burning. Salt to taste.
