#3098 - Popcorn Cake

(by Becky Lynn Mohr - friend)

14 cups popped popcorn
1 - 6oz. bag Nestle's semi-sweet chocolate bits
1 bag of regular M&M candies
1/2 cup butter + 2 TBSP butter
1/2 cup Jif peanut butter
1 - 10oz. bag mini marshmallows

Use the 2 TBSP butter to grease a 10" bundt cake pan. Put half of the popcorn into each of two large bowls. Sprinkle half of the chocolate chips over each bowl of popcorn (DO NOT STIR). Sprinkle half of the M&Ms over each bowl of popcorn (DO NOT STIR). In a saucepan over low heat add 1/2 cup butter--cook until melted. Add the peanut butter and marshmallows--cook/stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Pour half of the melted mixture over each bowl of popcorn, then use a wooden spoon to stir each until popcorn in both bowls is coated. Press all of the popcorn mixture firmly into the greased bundt cake pan (you have to really shove it in). Cool completely. Loosen from pan and flip it on to a cake plate. Slice to serve.
