For our pumpkin party, I made these. We also had spiced cider, donuts and pumpkin pie ice cream. The Fall Spirit was so strong. I keep gaining a stronger testimony of fall.
1/4 cup popcorn, popped (or one bag of microwave popcorn, buttered or not, although buttered makes it that much better)
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup butter
1 large package marshmallows
Extra butter for assembling popcorn balls
Waxed paper
Popsicle sticks
Add the popcorn to a large bowl and set aside. Lay a sheet of waxed paper on the counter and some butter to rub on your hands.
In a medium sauce pan, melt the brown sugar and butter. Once melted, add the marshmallows. Stir until marshmallows are melted.
Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn a little at a time. Stir well to combine (it's messy). Once cooled enough to handle, spread butter on your hands. Grab a handful of popcorn and make it into a ball. Squeeze it tight so it will hold it's shape. Place finished popcorn balls on the waxed paper. Allow them to set and then push a popsicle stick into them.

Whitney, I need your help! I have to make a treat for a Halloween party this Saturday and I'm trying to decide between this and the pumpkin cookies. I'd love to do the cookies, but when I went to the grocery, I couldn't find the pumpkin stuff OR a spice cake mix anywhere! Any hints on where to find them? Or how many popcorn balls does this recipe make? Thanks!
Shannon
