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,
-licorice, pretzels,
-for garnish.

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.)
