FAQs

Can I use regular marshmallows instead of FruitSwirler ones?

Yes, regular marshmallows will work, but the FruitSwirler marshmallows provide the colorful, signature look and fruity flavor that make this treat unique.

What if my marshmallow mixture hardens before I coat the popcorn?

If the mixture starts to harden, gently reheat it in the microwave for a few seconds until smooth again before mixing with the popcorn.

Marshmallow Coating

• 1 bag Campfire® FruitSwirler Marshmallows
• 4 tablespoons Butter
• 1 cup Mini Fruit Marshmallows

Toppings (Optional)

• 1 cup Colorful Sprinkles

Instructions

1. Prepare Workspace and Popcorn: Set up a clean workspace and place the air-popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl to get ready for coating.
2. Divide Marshmallows and Add Butter: Sort the Campfire® FruitSwirler Marshmallows by color into a microwave-safe bowl. Add the butter to the marshmallows to get ready for melting.
3. Melt Marshmallows One Color at a Time: Microwave the marshmallows and butter in 30-second intervals, stirring between intervals until the mixture is fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
4. Repeat with Remaining Marshmallows: Repeat the melting process separately for each color of marshmallows, keeping each melted batch distinct from the others.
5. Coat Popcorn: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and quickly stir to coat the popcorn evenly before it begins to set.

7. Cool, Set, and Enjoy: Allow the popcorn mixture to cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes before serving, so the coatings harden slightly for perfect bite consistency.

Notes

• Use air-popped popcorn to keep the snack light and crunchy without added oils.
• Melt marshmallows carefully to avoid burning or scorching the mixture.
• Work quickly when coating the popcorn to ensure even coverage before the marshmallow sets.
• If sprinkles are unavailable, crushed freeze-dried fruits can add both color and flavor.
• Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain freshness.
