 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  4      tablespoons   Unsalted butter
  4      cups          Mini marshmallows
  9      cups          Popped popcorn
    1/2  cup           Confectioners' sugar
  1      tablespoon    Milk
                       Gumdrops, cinnamon candies
         s;             -- 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.)
