“You’ll have a snowball fight of a different kind when you offer up treats that even Ebenezer Scrooge would love. Kids will need to use the same kind of pressure to make these snowmen as they do to meld snowflakes. But packing popcorn with melted marshmallows and butter is easy and edible. Just be sure to allow the mixture to cool before handling.”
