Smore's Popcorn

Chocolate, marshmallows, grahams... everything you love about smore's, piled onto caramel coated popcorn.  Its pretty much to die for.
As a side note, this WILL feed a small army.  If you are planning on making this just for yourself, I would more than half the recipe.  Unless you want to be stuck eating it all week (which isn't necessarily a bad thing...)

Smore's Popcorn
Recipe modified from 30HandMadeDays

1 batch caramel corn (recipe below)
12 oz. box Golden Grahams cereal
16 oz. bag mini marshallows
16 oz. chocolate chips, melted

Once caramel corn has cooled and hardened on waxed paper, stir together with Golden Grahams and mini mallows.
Drizzle chocolate chips over everything.
When chocolate has set up break into chunks and enjoy!
Store leftovers in a covered container.

Caramel Corn
(As I mentioned above, this makes a TON, so unless you have a ginormous bowl, you are going to have to make two separate batches)

1 c. kernels, popped (about 24 cups popcorn)
2 c. brown sugar
1/2 c. honey (or karo syrup)
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. butter, cubed
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. vanilla

Pop kernels into huge bowl.
Sift through popcorn to remove un-popped kernels.
In a large, microwave safe bowl, add the brown sugar, honey, salt and butter.
Microwave for 30 seconds, or until butter is softened and ingredients can be stirred together.
Once stirred, microwave for 2 minutes.
Stir.
Microwave for an additional 2 minutes.
Add vanilla and baking soda, stirring well.
Pour over popcorn and stir to coat.

Line 3 large cookie sheets with foil.
Distribute popcorn onto sheets and bake at 300 degrees for 30 minutes, stirring every 10.
Place wax paper on 3 cookie sheets and transfer the popcorn onto them.

Once caramel corn has cooled and hardened on waxed paper, pour even amounts of Golden Grahams and mini mallows onto each batch.
Stir everything together (keep on wax paper) with your hands.
Evenly drizzle melted chocolate chips over the everything.
When chocolate has set up break into chunks and enjoy!
Store leftovers in a covered container.
