For best results, use fresh popcorn. Stale popcorn will not absorb the marshmallow mixture as well. If you want to make the popcorn even more festive, consider adding other Halloween-themed candies, such as gummy worms or candy corn. To prevent the marshmallow from sticking to your hands, lightly grease them with butter or cooking spray before handling the popcorn. Store the slime popcorn in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain its freshness and prevent it from becoming too sticky. For a richer flavor, use salted butter or add a pinch of salt to the brown sugar and butter mixture.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
2 mins
Pour the popped popcorn into a very large bowl. Ensure the bowl is spacious enough to allow for even coating. (Prep time: 2 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the brown sugar and butter. Stir frequently until the butter is melted and the sugar is dissolved, creating a smooth caramel-like mixture. (Cook time: 3-5 minutes)
03
Step
7 mins
Add the marshmallows to the saucepan and continue stirring until they are completely melted and the mixture is smooth and creamy. (Cook time: 5-7 minutes)
04
Step
1 mins
Remove the saucepan from the heat. Stir in the green food coloring until the color is uniformly distributed throughout the marshmallow mixture. (Prep time: 1 minute)
05
Step
1 mins
Immediately pour the green marshmallow mixture over the popcorn in the bowl. Using a spatula or large spoon, gently but thoroughly stir the popcorn until it is evenly coated with the marshmallow. (Prep time: 3-5 minutes)
06
Step
3 mins
While the marshmallow coating is still sticky, sprinkle the candy eyeballs over the popcorn, ensuring they are distributed evenly. (Prep time: 1-2 minutes)
07
Step

Allow the popcorn to cool slightly before serving. The marshmallow will firm up as it cools, making it easier to handle. (Cool time: 10-15 minutes)
