Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups popped popcorn about 1/2 cup unpopped kernels
  • 1 cup mini marshmallows or dairy-free marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter or dairy-free alternative
  • 1/4 cup light brown sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp pumpkin spice mix or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon optional, for extra warmth
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions
 

  • Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside
  • Pop and prepare about 8 cups of popcorn. Set aside in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the marshmallows and stir until completely melted and smooth.
  • Remove from heat. Stir in the brown sugar, vanilla extract, pumpkin spice, cinnamon (if using), and a pinch of salt until well combined.
  • Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn. Use a spatula to gently fold until the popcorn is evenly coated.
