2 tsp cold water
2 5/8 cups confectioners sugar
1 cup marshmallows
5 quarts plain popped popcorn

Directions:
1. Combine cold water, butter, corn syrup, confectioners sugar and marshmallows in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir the mixture until it boils, and then carefully combine the hot mixture with the popcorn. Be sure to coat each kernel.

Candy Corn Popcorn Balls

Ingredients:
1/2 stick (2 ounces) butter
4 cups miniature marshmallows
1 bag plain popped popcorn (12 cups popped)
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 tsp salt 1.5 cups candy corn

Directions:
1. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Place popped popcorn and candy corn in a large mixing bowl and set aside.

3. Microwave butter for 30 to 45 seconds to melt it. Add marshmallows and microwave for an additional 90 seconds to melt them. (If marshmallows don't look melted, stir them and they should liquify). Stir to blend the butter and marshmallows, then add vanilla and salt. Stir until it's evenly distributed.
