Hola, amigos!
You miss me?
Remember that week it was raining and my mom made some recipes with my sister while I was at school, and it was still sunny?? Today is one of those recipes. My mom and sister made Birthday Cake Popcorn for one of our Friday Movie Nights. The popcorn was soooo delicious!! It was gooey and had sprinkles and was DELECTABLE. That’s a pretty big word. That means it’s really yummy!
We like to have treats like this on our movie nights so you better believe we’ll make this again!!
Here is the simple recipe. 😀
- 2 TB butter
- 6 cups popped popcorn
- 3 cups marshmallows
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 1 TB milk
- 1 cup white cake mix
- Sprinkles
- Take kernels out from popcorn and pour into a bowl.
- In a medium pot, melt marshmallows and butter on medium heat, stirring constantly.
- Once marshmallows are completely melted, remove from heat and add vanilla, milk and cake mix. Stir until well combined and pour over popcorn.
- Stir until the popcorn is evenly coated and top with sprinkles. Let set. ENJOY!
Recipe adapted from The Endless Meal.
The ingredients.
Can’t wait to eat this again!
I hope you can come back again soon for more yummy treats from me.
Love, Lily

This is such a fun recipe and perfect for family movie nights. Thanks for the recipe 🙂
Of course! Thanks for stopping by! 😀
So is that dry white cake mix? Or Cake mix with milk or water added to it?
It is the dry mix, that you add to the melted marshmallows and butter, then you’ll add the cake mix, vanilla, and milk. It is the tastiest popcorn ever!! Hope you like it!
Vanilla extract or vanilla icing? I have an upcoming 4th of July / birthday party coming up & want to make this with red, white, & blue star shaped sprinkes for the kiddos (if it makes it to the table 😉
Vanilla extract:) Haha..yes, good luck not eating it first!! It’s delish! Thanks for stopping by!!
This looks soooo tasty! We are heading out on a family RV trip and I was thinking about bringing this. Is it something you have to eat fresh, or will it harden into an inedible glob if I make and bag it in advance?
Thanks!
This would be perfect! It shouldn’t turn into a glob 🙂 Let me know what you think! Have fun!
This looks so yummy! Have you made it a day or so early? How early could I make it and store it for later use? Does it get hard when it cools? Thanks so much!
I’ve made it the morning of, but not any earlier. It doesn’t get hard. I’m sure a day a head will be ok 🙂 Hope you enjoy!! Thank you!
Hey! I have two questions. Do you think I would be able to use a different cake mix (like chocolate for example. Have you tried that?) And how messy is this? I was thinking for a game night but I don’t want people to be sticking to the pieces. Thanks in advance! 🙂
It is messy and sticky and I haven’t tried chocolate, but it sure is a hit. It might have to be the treat for after the games 🙂
Hi want to make this for my daughter sleepover, but I will like to prep and make it a day in advance and put it in clear favor bags tied up. Would it be fine.
How fun!! Yes, it should be ok 🙂 I hope they like it!
Hi! This looks great. I’ve been considering making it as an end of the year treat for my students. Do you have an estimate of how many “servings” this would yield?
Thanks!
It just depends on how much you are giving them. You’ll probably want to double/triple the recipe for sure. I wish I knew an exact amount, I’m sorry. They will love it, though 🙂
Does this stay clumped together (more like popcorn balls) or separate more? I’m trying to decide if I should make this for a 8 adult movie party or if it would be too awkward to self serve and share.
Either way I’ll be making this soon. Looks awesome. 😋
It’s sticky, so it does stay together! Maybe have it in individual cups/bags? It will be a hit!
