How to Make Popcorn Cake with Spice Drops & M&Ms

Follow these simple steps to make this yummy fall treat.

Step 1 | Melt butter & Marshmallows

In a medium to large-sized bowl, add the butter and miniature marshmallows.

Butter and Marshmallows in a Bowl

Melt in the microwave in small increments, stirring often. The marshmallows should be smooth, and the butter should be thoroughly mixed in.

Step 2 | add popcorn

Next, add the popcorn and mix well. We used 2 bags of microwave popcorn, which is approximately 10 cups.

Step 3 | add spice drops & M&Ms

We buy a 10 oz bag of spice drops and pick out the autumn colors. Call us crazy. We’ve also been known to pick out the right color of sprinkles for birthday cakes. But this way, you can get the fall colors and avoid the black licorice-flavored ones—two birds with one stone.

You can find harvest-colored M&Ms, so there is no need to pick out special colors for those unless you can’t find the fall ones.

Fold in the spice drops and M&Ms.

Step 4 | Press popcorn mixture into bundt pan

Grease a bundt pan. Also, grease your hands and add the popcorn to the pan, pressing down firmly.

Step 5 | Turn over onto A serving platter, Cut and enjoy!

Turn the bundt pan over onto a plate or serving tray. I used my cake stand (which is also a punch bowl). Which I love and use often.

Decorate the edges with autumn sprinkles. Cut into slices of ‘cake.’ Enjoy!

  1. Looks really good. My wife is making a list of “fall treats” now that the weather is cooling down here. I have never heard of this before. My problem would be eating all the ingredients before they are even mixed together!

      I know, right? You definitely need to test them before mixing it all together. 🙂 Thanks for stopping!
