Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
4 tbsp Unsalted butter
4 c Mini marshmallows
9 c Popped popcorn
1/2 c Confectioners' sugar
1 tbsp Milk
Gumdrops, cinnamon candies -- fruit leather, jelly
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.)
