Definition: Samhain is one of the 8 pagan Sabbats and falls on October 31st.

Samhain marks the third and final harvest of the year, and is a time to remember the dead. You might decorate your altar with pumpkins, autumn leaves or small gourds. Celebrate with divination, carve a jack-o-lantern or place an offering of food and drink in the window for passing spirits!
Pronunciation: SOW-en or sow-EEN (it's not pronounced SAM-hane)
Also Known As: All Hallows, Hallowe'en
Blessed be to all on this day

your welcome

Happy Samhain to my favorite witch

popcorn balls

10-12 cups popped popcorn in a large mixing bowl
with the unpopped and half popped kernels separated out
(you don't want anyone breaking a tooth on your halloween treat)

in a medium saucepan

melt 1/3 cup margarine
add 1/2 cup white sugar
and 1/2 cup white corn syrup
dash of salt
splash of vanilla
1/2 teaspoon of cream of tartar
mix well

bring to a boil (a couple of minutes)
test for readiness by dipping the spoon in the syrup
(when it starts falling off the spoon heavier it's ready)
remove from heat

add 1/2 teaspoon of baking soda, mix well
mixture will double in size and get frothy
pour over popcorn and gently form into balls with greased hands

variations

• i will add half of the white mixture to half of the popcorn
  then add orange food coloring to the remainder mixture and add to the rest
  then mix the popcorn together for a halloween look
  
  
• add jelly beans to the covered popcorn for a confetti look
  
  
• use golden syrup and brown sugar for a carmel look
  
  
• in stead of forming into balls you can drop spoonfuls onto waxed paper and serve as a party snack
