POPCORN SNOWMEN

Source of Recipe

??


List of Ingredients

15 cups popped popcorn
1 stick of butter or margarine
Two 10 oz. packages marshmallows
1/4 cup confectioner's sugar
Pretzel sticks
Raisins
Candy corn
Mini jawbreakers
Gumdrops or red hots
Fruit leather


Recipe

Step 1
Put the popcorn in your largest mixing bowl and set aside. Melt the
butter or margarine. in a nonstick saucepan over medium-low heat.
Add all the marshmallows to the pan, stirring continually with a
wooden spoon until they're completely melted. Pour the mixture
over the popcorn and stir to coat evenly.
As soon as the marshmallow is cool enough to touch, rub a little
butter or margarine in your hands and make popcorn balls
(about 1 cup of popcorn per ball).

Step 2
Build and decorate your snowmen on sheets of waxed paper. For each
one, stack three popcorn balls atop each other. Push pretzel-stick
arms into the sides of the middle popcorn ball. Add raisins for eyes
and a candy corn for a nose. Arrange a row of mini jawbreakers into
a broad grin. For buttons on the snowman's chest, use gumdrops or
red hots.

Step 3
If your popcorn balls aren't sticky enough to hold the decorations,
mix up a small batch of stiff white icing by adding water,
a few drops at a time, to 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and stirring
until smooth. Use this to glue the candy in place. For snowmen's
scarves, cut rectangles out of fruit leather and fringe the ends.
Makes 5 Snowmen.
