S'mores Popcorn {Rachel Cooks Virtual Baby Shower}

S’mores Popcorn {Rachel Cooks Virtual Baby Shower}

Posted By nutmegnanny on November 12, 2012

Surprise!

Today is a very special day! Today is the day we celebrate Rachel from Rachel Cooks and her little bundle of joy. Rachel is due to have a baby boy in December and a few blogger friends and I are throwing her a {virtual} baby shower! Brandi and I started planning this event months ago and I are so happy to for it to finally be here!

Now, I couldn’t come to this party for Rachel and not bring popcorn! If you follow Rachel on Twitter you know she is a HUGE fan of popcorn. So, since I couldn’t just give a big bowl of butter popcorn I decided to mix things up a little bit. S’mores popcorn. Who wouldn’t love that?

This popcorn is ooey and gooey and I ate half of it in one sitting. Don’t judge me. I’m sympathy eating for my pregnant friend. It’s a real thing. Look it up.

Now, just a short little message for my friend Rachel. I hope you have enjoyed your shower and love everything that everyone brought. I cannot wait to “meet” your little bundle of joy. Also, thank you for putting up with me and my constant hounding of belly pictures

S'mores Popcorn

Yield: 8 cups popcorn

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes (5 minutes for popcorn + 5 minutes for toppings)

Total Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients:

8 cups popcorn (popped)
2 cup marshmallows
1 cup mini chocolate chips
1-2 cups Golden Grahams cereal

Directions:

Pre-heat oven to 400 degrees.

Take your popped popcorn and lay it out onto a rimmed sheet pan. Layer the pan with a silpat or parchment paper will help with easy cleanup.

Sprinkle the popcorn with marshmallows, mini chocolate chips and Golden Grahams cereal.

Bake for 4 minutes until marshmallow puff up and chocolate is soft. Remove from oven and stir immediately to combine all ingredients.

Enjoy!

*Note: Do not let the marshmallows burn or get brown because it will result in them getting crunchy and the popcorn will turn out hard.

See what everyone else brought to the party!

Brandy! Where do I begin?!? I’m still trying to figure out how you had time to put this all together while you were busy…umm…GETTING MARRIED? You are a super-woman. And such an amazing friend. I am so touched by all of this and all of your sweet words. Definitely crying this morning! You are all so sweet and kind. And then there is this popcorn! Oh yum! So perfect–you know me well!

My mom just got a popcorn popper and I wasn’t super excited about it…until I saw this. Now I might be “borrowing” it from her. Indefinitely.
