Marshmallow Popcorn Bars

It's only natural to crave popcorn when you spend your weekend cuddled on the couch watching movies. Since I have an incessant sweet tooth I decided to try making a sweet and salty treat. I found this marshmallow popcorn recipe in Real Simple Magazine. It's super easy and way too addicting. If you are on a gluten free diet these are a fun snack option for parties. However, avoid eating big portions if you are trying to loose weight.
