Ingredients for Pumpkin Marshmallow Popcorn

  • Microwave Popcorn: Provides the crunchy, salty base that balances the sweetness and carries all the gooey coating.
  • Pumpkin Marshmallows: Melt into the sticky, sweet binder that holds the popcorn together while adding pumpkin flavor.
  • Brown Sugar: Deepens the sweetness, adds a hint of molasses flavor, and helps create a caramel-like richness in the coating.
  • Butter: Adds richness and flavor while keeping the marshmallow mixture smooth, gooey, and easy to coat the popcorn.

How to Make Pumpkin Spice Marshmallow Popcorn

  1. Make the Popcorn: Pop the popcorn according to the package instructions. Pour the popcorn into a large bowl.
  2. Melt the Marshmallows: Add the marshmallows, brown sugar and butter to a microwave-safe bowl and melt the marshmallows in 30 second intervals until melted and smooth.
  3. Combine: Pour the melted marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and stir together to combine.

Variations and Add-Ins

Do I Have to Use Microwave Popcorn?

In one bag of microwave popcorn, there are about 5 tablespoons of popcorn kernels which makes 10 – 11 cups of popped popcorn. You can pop your own popcorn using 5 tablespoons of kernels or buy pre-popped popcorn and use 10 – 11 cups for this recipe.

Storage Tips

Store leftover marshmallow popcorn balls in an airtight container at room temperature, it will keep for 2-3 days. The popcorn will definitely lose its crunch the longer it sits.

Healthy Harvest Chicken Casserole is a comforting and nutritious dish that combines tender, lean chicken with an array of colorful vegetables, wild rice, and a light, creamy honey mustard sauce.

Mom’s Wisdom

One of the first things I learned when I got married was that my mom’s budget-food recipes she sent me off to college with were exactly what I needed as a busy newlywed as well. Easy beef vegetable soup is a filling and inexpensive recipe that makes life so much easier when you’re trying to get dinner on the table.

Mom taught me that homemade soups are super easy to throw together and they’re much tastier than store-bought canned soup, plus healthier too. I like to make a double batch so I can eat one and freeze one!

Carrian’s Tips

If you’re not in a hurry, reduce the broth. Letting the broth simmer and reduce for 30-35 minutes or even all afternoon will concentrate the flavors and slightly thicken the soup.

Taste for seasoning OFTEN. Taste the broth as some broths are extra salty. After adding all of the ingredients, taste it again before serving. This is where you can bring a little personality with smoked paprika, extra salt, hot sauce etc. to make it to your liking.

Ingredients for Ground Beef and Vegetable Soup

  • Olive Oil: Used to sauté the onion, garlic, and veggies. It adds flavor and helps everything soften before the broth goes in.
  • White Onion: Builds the savory flavor base for the soup. Onions add natural sweetness and depth.
  • Ground Beef: The hearty protein that makes this soup filling and comforting. Browning it first adds rich flavor. We use 90/10.
  • Garlic: Adds aromatic depth and classic savory notes that round out the broth.
  • Carrots: Add sweetness, color, and texture while bringing natural balance to the savory beef.
  • Celery: Contributes a mild, earthy flavor that pairs with onion and
