Jell-O Popcorn Balls

A BIG Favorite when growing up. I taste one of these and I'm instantly taken back to Halloween when I was a child. They are easy peasy to make.
INGREDIENTS:
3 Quarts of Popped Popcorn
6 Tablespoons of Margarine or Butter
3 Cups Miniature Marshmallows
3 Tablespoons of Dry Jell-O
Melt Butter over medium heat in a large pan. When Butter is almost completely melted, add Marshmallows. Once Marshmallows are melted, add the DRY Jell-O. Mix in well. Take off burner and add Popped Popcorn, Stir well to coat Popcorn.
I use a large "cookie" scoop. {this is probably a meatball scoop which holds about 1/3 cup}. Spray it generously with Pam and no sticky hands! Want to make a fun treat for adults? Set Popcorn "balls" on wax paper and insert a sucker stick. Give each Popcorn Ball their own cellophane bag and tie with a cute Halloween bow. Way Yummy!
