Did you know.......


Did you know October is National Popcorn Poppin Month?!
It is a time to celebrate the granddaddy of all snack foods.
Popcorn balls were once the quintessential Halloween handout. The house that gave them away was always the hit of the neighborhood!
Following is a recipe to make Halloween Jack-O'-Lantern Popcorn Balls
Have fun!!



3 quarts popped popcorn
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter or
margarine
3 cups miniature marshmallows
3 tablespoons (1/2 of a 3-ounce box)
orange gelatin dessert mix
Candy corn, jellybeans and sour green
apple candy sticks, licorice string, dried
fruit, etc.

• Spray a large mixing bowl lightly with
cooking spray and place popcorn inside.
• In a medium saucepan, melt butter
over low heat. Stir in marshmallows
and gelatin dessert powder until
marshmallows are melted and mixture
is smooth. Pour over popcorn and mix
well until coated.
• Spray hands with cooking spray
and press firmly to form into balls.
Place balls on wax paper. Press candy
decorations into balls to form eyes, a
stem and a Jack-O-Lantern grin. Serve
immediately or wrap individually in
plastic wrap for storage. Add a ribbon tie
to plastic wrap as a decorative closure.
