Popcorn Snowmen

Directions

1. 1
   In a large saucepan, melt the butter over low heat.
2. 2
   Add the marshmallows and cook, stirring often, until melted and syrupy, about 5 minutes.
3. 3
   Place the popped popcorn in a large lightly greased shallow pan.
4. 4
   Pour the syrup over the popcorn, tossing to coat evenly.
5. 5
   While still warm, form 6 balls about 5 inches in diameter from the coated popcorn for the bottom sections, giving the balls flat bases so the snowmen will stand.
6. 6
   Form six balls about 3 1/2 inches in diameter for the middle sections.
7. 7
   Then form six balls about 2 inches in diameter for the top sections.
8. 8
   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.
