Scarecrow Poo, better known as popcorn balls, is super easy to make and only takes about 15 minutes. The candy corn on the outside is a great addition – even scarecrows can’t digest corn, after all!  This recipe makes approximately 20 popcorn balls.

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup light corn syrup
• ¼ cup margarine
• 2 teaspoons cold water
• 2 5/8 cups powdered sugar
• 1 cup marshmallows
• 20 cups popped popcorn
• 1 bag of candy corn

Directions:

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup, margarine, cold water, powdered sugar, and marshmallows.  Heat and stir until the mixture comes to a boil.  Carefully combine the hot mixture with the popcorn, coating each kernel.

Grease hands with vegetable shortening or butter and quickly shape the coated popcorn into balls before it cools.  Take a small handful of candy corn and press into the outside of the popcorn balls.  Wrap with plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
