what can i make with popcorn?

Question

i want to make something with popcorn but i dont have marshmellows!

Answer 1

I just made popcorn at Christmas time to give out. What I did is started with fresh popped popcorn and got a recipe off of the Lorann oils site and it was basically making a candy type of mixture. I used butter rum then you stir it into the pop corn and lay it out on wax paper to let it cool before I broke it into pieces I took and melted some butterscotch chips with some shortening and then drizzled it over the popcorn let it cool and broke it into pieces and sent it off for the family to enjoy. They are still talking about it how great it turned out.
There is a website for the Lorann oils website with recipes as well.
