Ghosts on the Fly

Martha Stewart and company created these gorgeous candy corn cobs in the latest Living Magazine.  Besides being easy and Martha Stewart delicious, I love the natural look of them.

YET!  I did not have all of the ingredients at home so... adaptable as I am, I made a spooky modified version of these little ditties.

1/4 stick butter (melt over low heat in cast iron dutch oven or some such big heavy pot)
1/2 bag of mini marshmallows (add to butter)
1/8c brown sugar (add to butter and mallows and melt over low heat)
1.5 q popped popcorn (remove mixture from heat and stir in popped popcorn)

With buttered hands form into balls--super FUN part (with these measurements I made 12)

Wrap in parchment paper and twist the bottoms (mine was white, hence the ghosts)

Draw silly faces (or spooky if you're into that kinda thing...mine was for 2-5 year olds, so we went silly).

They turned out amazing! Not one left over.  Portable, Easy, delicious, and I had everything ON HAND (I love that bit).

If I make them again, I will add more fun things: chocolate chips, mini m n m's, or nuts (though this was a nut free party so careful there:)  This could obviously be done with rice crispy treats or another cereal as well.

Happy Halloweening!
