Bake, tossing occasionally, until golden and shiny, about 40 minutes. Transfer hot popcorn to parchment-paper-lined baking sheet; let cool.


In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add marshmal- lows and salt; cook, stirring occa- sionally, until marshmallows have melted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in cereal and dried cranberries.
