Ingredients

  • 2 tbs butter
  • 1 bag of marshmallows {any size will work}
  • 1 bag of microwave popcorn
  • green food coloring {yellow & blue mixed}
  • 2 – 3 Graham crackers or cookies to place the trees on top of.
  • sprinkles and M & M’s as decorations

Instructions

  • In a medium saucepan heat 1 TBS of butter and add in half of the bag of marshmallows.
  • Meanwhile, pop the popcorn according to the package instructions.
  • Consistently stir the marshmallow mixture until the marshmallows lose their form and there are no lumps. Add in the food coloring to change the color of the mixture.
  • Pour half of the popped popcorn onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper and be sure to remove any unpopped kernels.
  • Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn.
  • Once the mixture has cooled enough that you can hold it begin to mold it into the shape of a tree. Depending upon the size of your trees you should be able to make 2 – 3 trees. Set the trees on top of half of a Graham Cracker or cookie that it can adhere to.
  • Sprinkle the trees with sprinkles and add candy as decorations.
  • Repeat the marshmallow mixture with the remaining half of the popcorn.
  • This should yield about 4 – 6 trees, but will depend upon the size of your trees.
