To make these Ghostly Popcorn Balls, you will need the following ingredients:
- 1/2 cup unpopped popcorn kernels

- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

To start, pop the popcorn kernels according to the package instructions and set aside. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the corn syrup, sugar, vanilla extract, and salt, and stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add the mini marshmallows and stir until melted and smooth.
Pour the marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and stir until the popcorn is evenly coated. Let the mixture cool for a few minutes, then use your hands to shape the popcorn into balls. Place the popcorn balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them cool completely.
Once the popcorn balls are cool, melt the white candy melts according to the package instructions. Dip each popcorn ball into the melted candy melts, using a spoon to coat the ball evenly. Place the coated popcorn balls back on the parchment paper and let them cool until the candy melts have hardened.
Finally, use the black decorating gel to draw ghostly faces on each popcorn ball. Serve and enjoy!
