Prep the parchment paper “husks” by folding each piece equally into 8 pieces, accordion style.
Next, cut out a thin, pointy triangle from one of the ends, then set the parchment paper pieces aside.
In a skillet on the stove over medium heat, melt the butter.
Then, add in marshmallows, mixing consistently until melted.
Once melted, stir in the vanilla.
Add popcorn to a large bowl, then pour in the marshmallow, gently mixing and evenly coating.
Next, you can either mix in the candies which will create a darker color as the candy may melt some (which looks great for a fall treat!) or you can press candies into the completed “cobs” after step 9.
Form the corn sob shapes with your hands.
Wrap each cob in the parchment paper “husks,” twist the end of the paper at the bottom and pull down some of the points for a more natural look.
