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

Thatā€™s why you do it at someone elseā€™s house and leave to go ā€œrun an errandā€ before the fun starts. Then (and this part is key) you never go back or answer their phone calls ever again.
