This treat might’ve been popularized as a certain trademarked name that we’re not allowed to use, but we’ve made some major improvements to the basic formula (like browning the butter for extra nutty flavor and swapping in popcorn!).
How to make Salted Brown-Butter Marshmallow-Popcorn Bars:
Brown 1½ sticks butter in a large pot until golden and nutty-smelling, 5 to 7 minutes.
Add 1 (12-ounce) bag of marshmallows to the butter and mix until melted.
Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and about 8 cups popped popcorn, transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet to form a 2-inch tall rectangle, and sprinkle with flaky sea salt.
Allow to cool, then cut into squares!
