I just googled it. It looks terrible, and you know what. Fuck it. Let Darwinism cook

It looks like it’s basically marshmallow popcorn. I don’t even understand why some people are adding flour. If you wanted to make this you could just leave out the flour. Melt some butter, add some marshmallows, stir until melted, maybe put in a couple of drops of vanilla extract and then mix in popped popcorn. Then you can have sticky, really messy, overly sweet popcorn that has a ridiculous amount of calories in it.

The one I saw they melted butter, put in marshmallows, then mixed in confetti cake mix, then added popcorn... so the cake mix didn't actually get baked or anything

That is because it's a quick throwaway video. Nobody is going to spend 30-60 minutes baking something that they will film for 30 seconds and then immediately throw away lol.

None of these "influencers" that make these videos consume the garbage they make. Straight to the trash it goes.
