What do with leftover popcorn...

It's Friday night and Miss Celia and I decided to do some leftover cooking.  A couple of nights ago my dad, "Papa", bought Celia and Charlie a giant bag of kettle corn- yum!  Unfotunately we also had a tin of popcorn leftover from Christmas.  Needless to say the kettle corn did not get eaten, but I could not let such yummy goodness go to waste, so here's a recipe for popcorn bars.  I have never made popcorn balls, but I would guess it is a version of that recipe- but it's for lazy people :)   I mean who really wants to make all those sticky balls?  Enjoy!

Cashew Popcorn Bars
Ingredients:
4 TBSP Butter, melted
10 Cups Popcorn*
2 Cups Cashews
4 Cups Mini Marshmallows
1/4 Cup Light Corn Syrup
 Chocolate Cookie Icing (optional) 


1.  Measure out 10 cups of popcorn in a large bowl.  Add 2 cups of cashews to the popcorn.  Set aside. 
2. Spray a 10x15 bar pan with pam.  In a small bowl, melt butter in microwave.
3.  Put marshmallows in a third bowl.  Pour corn syrup on top.  Microwave marshmallows in 30 second intervals for 2 minutes.  They will expand to 3 to 4 times their size.  When expanded, fold pour popcorn mixture and butter into marshmallows.  Pour into pan and pat down.  Let sit for 30 minutes.  Swirl icing over top of bars and let sit until hardened.  Cut into squares and serve.

*I would not use popcorn with extreme amounts of butter on it.
