Materials Needed:  Kathy Kaye™ Popcorn Ball from Walmart, green food coloring, candy eyes, candy corn, red string licorice, tootsie rolls, black string licorice, chocolate waffle cone, orange food coloring and M&M’s (dilute food coloring with a little almond extract for flavoring).

1. Paint the Popcorn Ball with green food coloring and let it dry a bit.  
2. While waiting for it to dry, soften the tootsie roll so you can mold it for the brim of the hat.
3. Wrap the red string licorice around the tootsie rolls (for the legs) and attach with toothpicks.
4. This will prevent the ball from rolling if you do this first!
5. Cut the black string licorice and stick to the sides.
6. Attach the molded brim to the ball and then cut the chocolate waffle cone so it sets on top of the brim.
7. Paint the orange trim around the hat with food coloring or orange chocolate.
8. Glue the M&M’s to the orange trim.
9. Stick the candy eyes on along with a candy corn nose and a red string licorice frowny face.
