• Prepopped, plain popcorn
• 1 pound of marshmallow
• 1 stick butter or margarine
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Melt the butter and marshmallows together and then stir in vanilla flavoring. Pour over the popcorn, coating evenly. Let the kids put butter on their hands so they can shape the sticky popcorn mixture into popcorn balls, or whatever shape they want.

Thanks to Halloween Preschool Unit Plan on Suite101.com for the recipe idea.

• 9 Cups of plain, pre-popped popcorn
• 1/4 Cup butter
• 10 ounce package marshmallows
• 6 Tablespoons flavored Jello mix

Part of the fun is selecting a jello flavor and color that you like. Melt butter and marshmallows, then dissolve gelatin into the mixture, stirring rapidly. When everything is mixed, pour it over the popcorn and stir gently. Buttering your hands to shape the popcorn is the best part of the fun!
