HOW TO MAKE INSTANT POT POPCORN THAT TASTES LIKE S’MORES
Popping popcorn in the Instant Pot is a breeze! It’s a fun way to show everyone that the Instant Pot can literally cook ANYTHING!
Step 1: Turn on the Instant Pot
Turn your instant pot on to sauté mode. Wait for it to get hot, and then add in your butter. Let your butter completely melt.
Step 2: add the popcorn
Add in your popcorn kernels and salt. Stir well to coat your kernels with the butter and salt.
step 3: put on th lid
Place the lid on your instant pot to seal in the heat. Your popcorn kernels will start to pop. Allow them to continue to pop until you stop hearing popping for at least 20 seconds.
step 4: Press cancel
Once they have stopped popping for at least 20 seconds, press cancel on your instant pot and remove the lid.
step 5: move the popcorn
Transfer your popcorn to a cookie sheet with a parchment paper liner. Be careful not to transfer any kernels with the popcorn.
step 6: melt the chocolate wafers
In a small microwave safe bowl, melt your white chocolate wafers. Microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring with a spoon.
step 7: pour over the popcorn
Once your chocolate has completely melted, evenly distribute and pour over your popcorn. Stir together making sure that each popcorn is covered in chocolate.
step 8: Add the other ingredients
Quickly, before the white chocolate melts, evenly distribute your marshmallows, chocolate chips, and graham crackers. Mix together.
Step 9: Let cool
Allow to fully cool on the counter at room temperature, or to speed up the process, in the refrigerator.
Serve and enjoy!
Can you burn chocolate wafers?
You can. It’s really important to pay attention to the time that you’re melting them for. If you burn then, you can’t fix it and will have to dump it out and start over from the beginning.
How do you store leftover popcorn?
To save leftovers, just add them to an airtight container or bag. You can keep it at room temperature as well.
