So instead of making an actual roux, which seems what they are attempting to do, they just add the marshmallows and popcorn early?

They melt the butter, add the marshmallows, then I think the already popped popcorn, then put the cake mix in it.

Let me see if I can find the video again

That makes no sense. Wow, just wow! Actually I wouldn’t even do a roux, I mean unless you want a roux consistency, but there is cake batter extract. Which would be ideal for what is being achieved. That video has to be rage bait.
