• Butter a large bowl and add 6 cups of prepopped pink popcorn. Or make your own. Take out a large piece of parchment paper and set aside.
• In a large microwave safe bowl add 1/3 cup of butter. Place in microwave to melt.
• Remove the melted butter from the microwave. Add the marshmallows to the bowl and stir to coat the marshmallows.
  
• Place the marshmallows in the microwave uncovered and cook for 1 minute on high temp. Your marshmallows should be very fluffy, but not necessarily melted.
• Use an oven glove to remove the marshmallows as the bowl is likely to be hot from the melting candy.
• Stir the semi melted marshmallows with a spoon or spatula. They will become a smooth almost icing type of consistency. If they aren’t melted enough recook for another 30 seconds. Then stir. You may need to repeat the process depending on the power of your microwave.
  
• Add the vanilla and stir.
• Pour the melted marshmallows over the popcorn balls. Stir to cover the popcorn completely.
  
• Use a half cup measuring cup to guestimate the size of each popcorn ball. Butter your hands, then form the popcorn into balls with your hands. Be careful not to get burned, you may need to give the marshmallow in the popcorn a little time to cool before handling.
• Place each popcorn on the parchment paper to cool completely.
  

Dip in Candy Melts

• Melt you candy melts according to the directions on the package. I used white Wilton brand candy melts.
• Add the package of melts to a completely dry bowl. Microwave on medium for 1 minute. Stir, and then repeat with 30 second intervals until melted. If there are still little bits of candy unmelted leave it to sit for a minute to give the hot candy time to melt it.
• If you find the candy is kind of thick add a tsp of cooking oil or coconut oil to the mixture, then stir.
• Dunk the top of each popcorn ball into the melted candy. Turn over and repeat with the next popcorn ball.
  
• I did six popcorn balls, and then stopped to attach the eyeballs to the semi soft chocolate. Then returned to dipping and doing the eyeballs on the second six.

Embellishments

• To make the fondant flowers I just tolled the fondant thin and then cut it out with a flower shaped cutter.
• Here is a another quick idea to embellish the ghosts without using fondant. I quickly took two of the ghosts as an example for you. I sat the ghosts in a pretty halloween themed cupcake liner, and then added a fun spooky gummy spider like a barette.
