This easy s’mores popcorn recipe is very simple to make and a fun snack for your movie night and a backyard barbecue treat. S’mores are the best summer dessert! It reminds us of weekend camping trips, where we would hang out with friends and family around a campfire and tell stories under the stars. Plus – who does not love summer? No school, no work, just lazy days, and relaxed nights.
To make your s’mores popcorn, the shopping list is simple: popcorn, butter, mini marshmallows, graham crackers, chocolate (we went with the classic s'mores favorite of a Hershey's bar), and Dell Cove®Chocolate Caramel and Kettle Corn popcorn seasonings. We found that the caramel flavor pairs well with this dish, and the hint of sea salt in the Kettle Corn popcorn seasoning helps round out some of the sweetness of this recipe.
Don’t have graham crackers in your pantry? I’ve made this recipe with leftover Cinnamon Toast Crunch cereal, with much success. Want to make this treat gluten free? That is an easy fix. Swap out the standard graham crackers for a gluten free graham cracker. Need to make this recipe dairy-free, because you are lactose intolerant? Instead of using melted butter, try using ghee – which is butter fat, but is lactose free. No matter what, if any substitutions you make, the final result will be an extra crunchy s'mores style treat that's perfect for summer, or just wishing it was summer.
S’mores popcorn is the best sweet snack! Sweet, salty and crunchy popcorn, with gooey marshmallow and melt chocolate make a fun backyard movie night summer treat.
Pre-heat your oven to 300 degrees F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
To make the popcorn, add the vegetable or canola oil and 2 to 3 of the movie night kernels to a large pot with a lid. Heat on high until the kernels pop. That will let you know that your oil is hot enough.
Add the remaining kernels and the salt. Cover, continue cooking on high, shaking the pot often, until the popping stops. Remove the popcorn to a large bowl.
Break up the graham crackers, in a food processor or by putting them in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin, until they are chunky crumbs.
Melt the butter and stir in 2 to 3 teaspoons each of Dell Cove® Chocolate Caramel and Kettle Corn popcorn seasonings. Drizzle this flavored butter mixture over about 4 cups of the popped corn and sprinkle in your marshmallows and graham crackers.
Pour the mixture onto your baking sheet and spread out evenly. Sprinkle on the chocolate and bake for about 15 minutes or until the marshmallows and chocolate have melted.
Remove the baking tray from the oven and allow to cool before serving.
