Popcorn Snowman - cooking recipe

Ingredients

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
4 cups mini marshmallows
9 cups popped popcorn
1/2 cup milk
1 cup confectioners' sugar (or use pre-made frosting)
gumdrop, for decoration
red cinnamon candies, for decoration
jelly pretzels, for decoration
fruit leather, for decoration

Preparation

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 for 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 (skip this step if using pre-made frosting).
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, cinnamon candies for eyes etc).
