Fudge Popcorn

A fun, yummy treat for a Sunday afternoon...

This reminded me a little of the chocolate covered boyscout popcorn. I love that popcorn, but it's so much money for a small bag (when you are feeding 6-8 people, it's a SMALL bag!) This made plenty for not much money and was delicious with very happy boys. 

 

Fudge Popcorn

1/2 c. unpopped popcorn kernals

4 Tbsp. butter

1 c. evaporated milk

2 c. sugar

1 c. chocolate chips

1 c. mini marshmallows or 10 large + 2 c. mini marshmallows, divided

1 tsp. vanilla

Use an air popper to pop the popcorn kernals. Put them in a large bowl - you will need room to mix. Over medium-high heat, place the butter, evaporated milk, and sugar in a medium saucepan and stir constantly. Bring to a boil and boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat and add chocolate chips, 1 c. marshmallows, and vanilla. Stir until all is melted and mixture is smooth. Pour over the popcorn and begin mixing. Add the remaining 2 c. mini marshmallows and stir until everything is coated with the chocolate mixture. Pour out onto lightly greased aluminum foil and allow to cool.
