This is a great treat. We call it "monkey food". I made a half batch. This time instead of a caked which would have to be pulled apart or cut, I made these into balls. The half batch made 10 good sized balls. Before forming the balls I sprayed my hands with butter flavored cooking spray. I place each ball on it's own square of waxed paper and after it's cooled I wrap it up and tape it shut. It's easy to transport and I use the wax paper to hold on so my hands don't get sticky. I used more m&m's than the recipe called for. Instead of popping corn, I used a bag of microwave popcorn, which worked well. One regular sized bag would make a half batch, two would make a whole batch. The 94% fat free healthy pop or the Crispy and White kind work great because they are not greasy. If you wanted to dress this up for a bake sale or school treat you could drizzle the cake or balls with melted chocolate or cover in sprinkles for kids. Either would be fabulous!

Took this to SuperBowl and it was a hit! Loved by kids and adults alike, and I was asked for the recipe several times. My one complaint was that it didn't set-up completely and was a bit sticky. I was hoping it would solidify a little more like rice crispy treats, but that was not the case. Still yummy though!

A tip I discovered to prevent problems with the m & m's breaking, melting, and accumilating in the bottom: Mix the marshmallows with the popcorn first, then add the m&m's a little at a time.

I have been making this recipe for years. Instead of the candy and nuts I use red and green mini gum drops and make it in a angel food cake pan. It is a great gift for the neighbors. I am always ask for the recipe nomatter who I give it to or what potluck party I take it to.

I made this recently for the first time and I thought it was excellent...so did the parents and the 20 year olds. I had several requests for the recipe. It has a nice chewy texture and with the M&M's, a nice crunch. I added 1 cup of quartered jujubes and 1.5 cups of M&M's. I thought that was a good ratio, but the half cup of M&M's might have been much. If the popcorn part doesn't seem sweet enough, the candy pieces more than make up for that so don't add any sugar to the marshmallow unless you plan to add less than the suggested amount of candy. My recommendation is to cut the slices toward the thin side because there's plenty to chew. Thick pieces may be harder to bite through. I will definitely make this again. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

What a fun and simple recipe to make with popcorn. I made this and had it sitting on my cake pedistal, when I came home I asked how come no one attempted to eat it. My husband said he thought it was a decoration! Very pretty when displayed on a cake pedistal. Very tasty also! Thanks for sharing this cute recipe!

This had good flavor and a great idea, but mine was sticky and never really set up like rice krispies treats do when they cool...maybe the amount of marshmallow isn't accurate? They come in 10 oz bags, I used 1 1/2 plus a little more. Really easy to make! I used 2 large casserole dishes instead of a big bowl, because my "big" bowl didn't really leave mixing room after all the dry ingredients were in. We sprayed our hands with non stick spray and just grabbed handfuls and filled the bundt pan. With a little alteration this could be really fantastic!

Brought this in to work for Halloween today, and everyone loved it. I wasn't in the office ten minutes when someone asked for the recipe! I used Reese's Pieces to give it a Halloween-y feel, and halved it because that's a LOT of popcorn! Thanks for the great recipe.

Taste and appearance was fun fot 4th of July picnic, but it was gummy and fell apart. It wasn't one to slice off a piece and walk around with. Fun for kids, though. Probably wouldn't make this recipe "as is" again.

I was expecting a crispier dish, like rice krispy treats only better, but instead it was chewy. I think the melted marshmallow weighs down the popcorn and makes it soggy and stale-like. I would pass on making this again but cool idea.
