Night In: Making Popcorn Ball Snowmen
Connect with the kids in a mutually enjoyable way
Popcorn Snowman Recipe:
- 10 cups popcorn or 4 pods
- 1 lbs marshmallows
- ¼ cup of butter
- a healthy dash of vanilla.
1. Melt butter and marshmallows in a large saucepan.
2. Remove from heat and stir in vanilla. Let cool for a few minutes and then pour over popcorn.
3. Butter your hands! Form 3 balls that you stack on top of each other. Mine your pantry for eyes (raisins), scarf (fruit leather), mouth (chocolate chips), arms (pretzels), hat (peanut butter cup), and a nose (candy).
