Popcorn Snowman
Popcorn Snowman

My dad is a master at popcorn balls – at least he was when I was a kid. He was also all about decorating at Christmas. Above is a snowman made from the popcorn ball recipe/technique. I don’t know if it was eaten at the end of hte holidays or was thrown out. Dad made our holidays magical.
