    5      cups          Popped popcorn
    2      large         Marshmallows -- cut up
    1      cup           Powdered sugar
    3      tablespoons   Light Corn syrup
    1      tablespoon    Butter or margarine
    1 1/2  teaspoons     Water
      1/3  cup           Gumdrops -- snipped
 
 Place popcorn in large bowl. In medium saucepan combine marshmallows, sugar,
corn syrup, butter, and water. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring
occasionally. Remove from heat; continue stirring until marshmallows are
melted. Pour syrup over popcorn, toss lightly until well coated. Let mixture
stand until cool enough to handle. Grease hands, then shape popcorn into lemon
size balls and press several gumdrop pieces into each. Wrap each ball in saran;
store at room temperature. Makes 1 dozen balls.
