coated. Spread popcorn mixture in a single layer on greased sheets of
foil and allow to cool and harden. Break into bite-size pieces and
mix with candy corn in a wide shallow bowl; set aside. To make
spiders, cut licorice into 2 inch lengths. To make legs, starting at
one end, make three 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch cuts to make four legs.
Repeat cuts at opposite end. Leave about 1/2 inch in center uncut.

exposed pick to make a body. Using writing tip of decorating icing,

into icing to make eyes. Place"spiders" and worm-shaped candies in
popcorn. Remove wooden picks before eating. Makes 4 quarts.
