14 Days of Popcorn: S’mores Caramel Popcorn

Today is the last day of the 14 days of popcorn. I’m sad to say goodbye to always having a snack to munch on while writing my posts, but my waistline is ready for me to stop eating treats all day, every day! I’ve had fun creating recipes from salty to sweet, citrus to chocolate, but of course, the last recipe has to be a caramel popcorn since that is my families absolute favorite! So for the last hurrah, I am sharing this delicious S’mores Caramel Popcorn.

S’mores are usually saved for summer. Roasting mallows over a backyard fire is a requirement for me in the summer. But why can’t I have marshmallow, chocolate and graham cracker all year? Well, this S’mores Caramel Popcorn is the perfect way to enjoy a summer treat when it’s not summer outside!

While I was making this popcorn, my daughter asked if we could go camping! Ha ha. I guess I’m not the only one who links s’mores with summer. Unfortunately, we will not be going camping for a few more months. I am not big on camping in the snow. But the kids were happy with their S’more Caramel Popcorn in place of a good ol’ fashion camping trip.

To make this popcorn extra marshmallowy (is that a real word?), I melted marshmallows into the caramel to make it super light and gooey. Then I added marshmallows and chocolate to the caramel popcorn to be slightly melted by the warm caramel. The end result was a sweet, gooey, chocolatey, marshmallowy mess. But that mess was delicious!

In fact, the hubby and kids ate it all while I was freezing outside making a project I’m going to share next week. Every… last… crumb! I wasn’t very happy about that. Now what am I going to munch on later tonight while crafting 🙂
