Instructions

Prepare the Popcorn:
Pop 10 cups of popcorn and lightly salt to taste. Set aside.
Make the Marshmallow Coating:
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add 3 cups of mini marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth. Turn off the heat.
Color the Mixture:
Add a few drops of yellow food coloring to the marshmallow mixture, then add a small amount of blue food coloring. Stir to achieve the perfect Grinch green color. Tip: Gel food coloring works best for a vibrant color.
Coat the Popcorn:
Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn, stirring to coat evenly. Spread the coated popcorn onto a prepared cookie sheet.
Add Toppings:
Drizzle any remaining marshmallow mixture over the popcorn for extra coverage. Sprinkle the extra ½ cup of mini marshmallows and red M&M candies on top while the popcorn is still warm.
Cool and Serve:
Allow the Grinch popcorn to cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!

Notes

Food Coloring Tip: Gel food coloring will give a more vibrant green color.
