Prep your pan: make a thick cake in a 9x13" pan. For traditional Schat Family Style, grease a bundt pan or angel food cake pan. Whatever you choose, grease it or line with parchment.
Melt butter in a heavy bottom pot on low heat. Add the marshmallows. Stir frequently until all melted.
Pop your popcorn via airpop or stovetop. Pick out any unpopped kernels as to not break teeth!
Mix popcorn and candy in a big bowl. Pour melted marshallow mix over and stir well.
Scoop into your prepared pan, use buttered fingers to press it down.
Let cool, its ready to serve within an hour but you can make the day before, cover and pull out when ready to serve.
To serve- slice and enjoy!
Notes
Mix-ins: Jujubes, jelly beans, M&Ms, Reese's pieces, chocolate covered peanuts all work. The amount is partly on preference and partly that if using bulky things, you’ll need more cups vs. smaller things for good coverage.
