Popcorn People
These corny folks are gooey good! First, gather these items:
6 cups of popped popcorn (about 1/3 cup unpoped) * 1/4 cup butter * 10 ounces
marshmallows (about 40 big ones) * cookie sheet * raisins * pretzel sticks
With Mommy helping, melt butter in large saucepan over low heat.
Add marshmallows and mix until completely melted. For colorful people, drop in
some food coloring. Stir in the popped popcorn until it is completely coated.
When the mixture has cooled a little, butter your hands and form popcorn balls --
big ones for bodies, little for heads.
Press the heads and bodies together on a cookie sheet. Use raisins for eyes
and nose, a broken pretzel stick for the mouth and four more pretzels for arms
and legs. When your people are complete, they're ready to eat!
