For those who love popcorn, marshmallows and M&M's, will definitely enjoy this cake. My favorite M&M's to use in this cake, are the peanut M&M's. (Also, when making this recipe, I did use a large Teflon coated pan/kettle.)

yield 1 (8x8-inch) cake, or 6 servings. But if using 4 cups of marshmallows, this will serve 8.

  • 7
    With buttered hands, press popcorn mixture down into the pan.
