  • Prep Time: 20 min.
  • Cook Time: 5 min.
  • Decoration Time: 30 min.
  • Difficulty: Moderate
  • Yield: Makes 5 snowmen (each snowman serves 3).

Ingredients

  • 20 cups of popped popcorn (equals 1 cup unpopped)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup M&M’S® Brand MINIS®
  • 4 pieces DOVE® Chocolates
  • 4 chocolate wafer cookies
  • 1 tube white decorating frosting
  • 4 wooden skewers
  • 2 sheet pans

Directions

  • 1. Preheat the oven to 200°F. Spread the popcorn on a sheet pan and place in oven to keep warm.
  • 2. Combine the sugar, corn syrup and salt in a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over medium heat and cook until sugar is dissolved and mixture becomes thick, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the butter and stir until melted. Remove from heat.
  • 3. Transfer the popcorn to a very large bowl and toss with sugar mixture until completely coated. Stir in M&M’S® Brand MINIS®, leaving a handful aside for decoration.
  • 4. With well-buttered hands, shape the popcorn mixture into 3 different size balls: 2-inch balls, 3-inch balls and 5-inch balls.
  • 5. Stack the popcorn balls in descending sizes, using a wooden skewer pressed through the center as the support. Make some snowmen using three different size balls and others with only two different size balls for variation.
  • 6. Use decorating frosting to attach M&M’S® Brand MINIS® for scarves, buttons and faces. To make the hat, stack a DOVE® Chocolate on top of a chocolate wafer and attach it with frosting.
