Desserts to Die For:
Popcorn Cake (Not a Typo)

By Sydney Hill

Okay, popcorn and cake probably shouldn't be in the same compound word, let alone dessert, yet somehow it works. It's kind of like a large Rice Krispie treat, but with popcorn instead of Krispies. I choose this cake every year for my birthday. There are usually weird looks shot around the table as people see it for the first time, but then they take a bite and breathe a sigh of relief. It's very good (and yes, edible). I also like it because it's very versatile. You make it how you want it.


Popcorn Cake


Ingredients:
Enough popcorn to fill an angel food cake pan
1/2 cup margarine
1/4 cup oil
1 pound marshmallow
Desired mix-ins (1 cup salted cashews or peanuts, 3 cups gumdrops, 1 bag Swedish Fish candy)


Directions:
Very lightly salt the popcorn (if needed). Melt oil, butter, and marshmallows together on medium heat in a large pot. Pour over popcorn in a large greased bowl. Add desired mix-ins. Mix well. Press into a well-greased angel food cake pan. Allow to cool. Turn it out of the pan, slice, and serve.
You can try forming this recipe into balls, as well.

My favorite combination of mix-ins has been cashews with Swedish Fish. Try hot tamales, jelly beans (the Nerd's brand during Easter time especially), Mike and Ikes, Good and Plenty's, etc.) The chewy textured candies fit along perfectly.

Promise me not to condemn the cake until you try it.

Great for Holidays, too!
