This quick and easy 6 ingredient green slime popcorn with candy
eyeballs is a fun spooky Halloween treat! Perfect for kids or adult parties!
I can’t believe Halloween is almost here. It seems like it was just August. This year has come and gone so fast! Now that it is almost Halloween, I figured I would post my first Halloween recipe. I had my mind set to make an easy spooky but fun Halloween treat, something that was quick prep and cooked fast. Luckily, one day, I was flipping through Food network magazine and came across this ideal green slime popcorn recipe.
I thought it looked pretty cool and I loved the look of the candy eyeballs. The ingredient list was simple, prep time super fast, and cooked in minutes plus it looks like slime! Who doesn’t love slime? Kids and adult will get a kick out of pulling the popcorn and watching the marshmallow slime stretch.
My 4 year old was supposed to help me make this, but he was more interested in eating the candy eyeballs and marshmallows. I let him have his way a just a bit since we don’t allow him to eat a lot of sweets. Of course he was happy to eat his slimy popcorn.
Now my toddler wants me to make a healthy fruit Halloween recipe from the same magazine. I may let him have his way again and if I do make it, I will share it with you!
