Title: Popcorn Snowmen
Categories: Appetizer
Yield: 6 Servings
| 4 | tb | Unsalted butter |
| 4 | c | Mini marshmallows |
| 9 | c | Popped popcorn |
| 1/2 | c | Confectioners' sugar |
| 1 | tb | Milk |
| | | Gumdrops, cinnamon candies; fruit leather, jelly beans, lico |
In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the marshmallows
and cook, stirring often, until melted and syrupy, about 5 minutes. Place
the popped popcorn in a large lightly greased shallow pan. Pour the syrup
over the popcorn, tossing to coat evenly. While still warm, form 6 balls
about 5" in diameter from the coated popcorn for the bottom sections,
giving the balls flat bases so the snowmen will stand. Form 6 balls about
3-1/2" in diameter for the middle sections. Then form 6 balls about 2" in
diameter for the top sections. Stir in the confectioners' sugar and milk
together until smooth. Use the icing to stack three popcorn balls of
decreasing sizes into a snowman, then attach candies to decorate. (Gumdrops
for hats, fruit leather for scarves, etc.)
