Best Ever Popcorn Balls

¾ cup light corn syrup

¼ cup margarine

2 teaspoons cold water

2 ⅝ cups confectioners sugar

1 cup marshmallows

5 quarts plain popped popcorn

In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup, margarine, cold water, confectioners sugar and marshmallows. Heat and stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Carefully combine the hot mixture with the popcorn, coating each kernel.

Grease hands with vegetable shortening and quickly shape the coated popcorn into balls before it cools. Wrap with cellophane or plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
