Halloween Candy Corn Popcorn Balls

Halloween is almost upon us. For the next few days I am going to be looking for Halloween treats to make for you and your family. This is the first recipe I have made.
Makes 24 balls

¾ stick butter or margarine
2 containers Solo Marshmallow Creme (7 oz each)
1 small pkg (4 serving size) orange gelatin dessert
few drops of orange or red and yellow  food coloring (optional)
14 cups popped popcorn (3-1/2 quarts)
2 cups candy corn

Combine popcorn and candy corn in large bowl.  Set aside.

Combine butter and marshmallow creme in saucepan over low heat, stirring till blended.  Mix in gelatin and food coloring to increase orange color (optional) until blended thoroughly.

Pour marshmallow mixture over popcorn and candy corn in bowl and mix lightly until well coated.  Wait 5 minutes and with buttered or wet hands, firmly shape into 24 balls, approximately 5” in diameter.  Refrigerate an hour until set.  Serve immediately or wrap each ball in plastic wrap or bags.
