Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by popping enough plain, lightly salted popcorn to fill about 16 cups. Inspect and remove unpopped kernels before transferring to a mixing bowl.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 10 ounces of mini marshmallows with ¼ cup of butter over medium heat. Stir regularly until fully melted and smooth, about 4-5 minutes.
- Carefully pour the melted marshmallow-butter mixture over the popped popcorn in the mixing bowl. Fold gently to ensure each piece is coated, about 2-3 minutes.
- Lightly butter your hands and shape the coated popcorn into ghost-sized balls, placing them on a lined baking sheet. Aim for about 10-12 popcorn balls.
- Allow popcorn balls to cool and set for 30 minutes to 1 hour at room temperature to help them maintain their shape.
- Melt a bag of Wilton Bright White Candy Melts according to package instructions, usually in the microwave at half-power for 1-2 minutes. Dip the tops of each popcorn ball in the melted candy, allowing excess to drip off.
- Before the candy coating hardens, add candy eyeballs to each popcorn ball. Let the coating completely harden, about 15-20 minutes, before serving.

Notes
