When I was younger, my brother and I would always make this popcorn concoction we called “monster munch” when we were left alone in the house. Typically it would be on a Saturday night and we would enjoy it under a blanket fort we made in the living room while watching Are You Afraid of the Dark or Nine to Five. It was basically popcorn with a sticky mixture of melted butter, marshmallows, and brown sugar poured over it. There wasn’t really a recipe for it so we would just mix it together and microwave it until it looked and tasted right. Ask anyone in my family what the perfect movie-watching snack is and they will most likely say monster munch.
I haven’t had the “real” version of monster munch in years because I don’t really eat butter or marshmallows anymore. And, it isn’t exactly that healthy. I figured this past weekend that it had been long enough and decided to figure out a somewhat healthier way to enjoy it. Yes, there is caramel involved, but it’s made with less processed and better for you ingredients. Plus, the fleur de sel really puts it over the top in terms of creating the perfect sweet and salty balance. I highly suggest enjoying this under a blanket fort while watching scary movies. I think it might taste that much better 🙂
