Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Spatula
  • Silicone mat or parchment paper
  • Baking sheet

Ingredients
  

  • 16 cups popped popcorn
  • 10 oz mini marshmallows
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 10 oz white chocolate candy melts
  • 16 candy eye balls

Instructions
 

  • Place all of the popcorn in a large mixing bowl.
  • In a large pot over medium heat, melt the mini marshmallows and butter. Stir occasionally until the mix is smooth.
  • Pour the melted mixture over the popcorn. Stir with a spatula until the popcorn is fully coated.
  • Butter your hands and form the popcorn into balls (or ghost-shapes).
  • Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with a silicone mat or parchment paper. Allow the balls to cool and firm up (30 minutes to 1 hour).
  • Once firm, melt the white candy melts according to the package.
  • Dip the tops of the popcorn balls into the melted chocolate and return them to the baking sheet. Allow the chocolate to set for 1 or 2 minutes before adding candy eye balls (if you add the eyes right away they will slide off if the chocolate is too hot).
  • Allow the chocolate to fully set before serving.
