Directions
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 inches in diameter from the coated popcorn for the bottom sections, giving the balls flat bases so the snowmen will stand.
Form six balls about 3½ inches in diameter for the middle sections.
Then form six balls about 2 inches 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.)
