POPCORN CAKE 
12 c. popped white popcorn
1 (1 lb.) bag marshmallows
1/2 c. oil
1 stick butter
1 lg. jar dry roasted nuts (peanuts)
1 (3 oz.) pkg. spice drops (gum drops) sm. ones

Pop the corn using no salt. In a large pan (dish pan, etc.) put the popped corn, nuts and spice drops; set aside.

In the microwave, melt the butter, oil and marshmallows; stirring often. Heat only until melted (pourable). Remove from the microwave and add a few drops of red food coloring. Mix well and immediately pour over the corn, nuts and drops mixture. Mix together well, if necessary using hands as all must be coated. Press into an angel food cake pan, do not be afraid to press hard. Set aside for 2 hours and invert on a plate. Easier to cut using an electric knife. Cut into slices like a regular cake.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.

Hi Cindy,

You can make it a day ahead or freeze it for longer storage.
