This is a great little project that you can do with your kids for a Halloween party. Its simple and really impactful for a layout for a party. Simply pop popcorn. At each tip of each finger put a candy corn. Add popcorn to fill the glove. Close with a piece of curling ribbon made into a bow. Add a spider ring for a bit of show.
Kitchen Fun For My Three Sons – found on Facebook – is always a good site to find easy goodies. Here is Bunny Bait. Pop popcorn (I prefer bagged buttered popcorn myself) and add colored candy melts in pastels and lightly stir. Add colored sprinkles.
Optionals: nuts, M&M’s, shaped candy sprinkles
Opps – someone got Gizmo wet I see. What an awesome 3D cake featuring Gizmo, reels of film, popcorn and lots of candy from the epic theater portion of the Gremlin movie.
Ingredients
1 bag (10 oz) large marshmallows
1/4 cup butter or margarine
4 drops red food color
8 cups popped light butter flavor microwave popcorn (from 3.5-oz bag)
1 In 3-quart saucepan, cook marshmallows and butter over medium heat, stirring constantly, just until marshmallows are melted. Remove from heat. Stir in food color.
2 Stir in popped popcorn until evenly coated. Cool 5 minutes.
3 With buttered hands, shape 1 cup mixture into heart shape. Repeat with remaining mixture. Wrap each heart in plastic wrap.

Pop Popcorn. Then Pack. That’s right. UPSer Mimi Millegass, a preload clerk in Myrtle Beach, S.C., says, “You have to pack the popcorn down really tight. When the package has arrived safely at its destination, the used popcorn can be thrown outside to feed birds and other animals.” —— I never thought about it but it is an obvious material to pack and is super eco friendly…. those Styrofoam peanuts and bubble wrap are terrible for the environment. I might suggest to make sure the recipient is OK with this and that the item being shipped is securely packed inside a sealed bag or plastic of some kind.
