recipe not on marthastewart.com anymore so here it is:
"Flaming Popcorn Balls"
"Popcorn balls are classic Halloween fare, but the slender
chocolate flames that envelop these are hardly traditional. Rich
caramel bolstered with honey coats the popcorn and holds the spheres
together. After popcorn balls are formed, melted chocolate is
generously spooned over them so that it drips down the sides. Once the
chocolate cools and hardens, the popcorn balls are flipped over. Grab
your own before the party begins; the combination of chocolate,
caramel, and crunch will make these treats a disappearing act.
Flaming Popcorn Balls Recipe
Makes 20 to 30
40 cups popped popcorn (2 cups kernels)
1/2 cup butter (1 stick), cut into pieces
1/2 cup honey
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1 fourteen-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
5 ounces marshmallows (about 20 large)
30 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted
Vegetable-oil cooking spray
1. Set popcorn aside in a bowl. Coat two baking sheets with cooking spray; set aside. Combine butter, honey, and sugar in a 4-quart saucepot over medium heat; cook, stirring with a wooden spoon. When mixture begins to boil, stop stirring, and cook until dark amber around sides of pan, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in milk. Add marshmallows; stir until melted.
2. Pour caramel over popcorn; mix with wooden spoon to coat. When cool enough to handle, after about 3 minutes, spray hands with cooking spray; shape mixture into 3-inch balls. Place on baking sheets to cool for 15 minutes.
3. Using a small spoon, drip chocolate over popcorn balls and down sides. When chocolate has cooled, store popcorn balls in a plastic container. These may be made 2 to 3 days in advance. "
