Description

This fun and spooky Slime Popcorn recipe is perfect for Halloween or any playful occasion. Crisp popcorn is coated in a gooey, sweet marshmallow mixture tinted bright green with food coloring and topped with cute candy eyeballs. It’s an easy and festive treat that kids and adults alike will enjoy munching on.

Ingredients

Scale

Popcorn

  • 10 cups popped popcorn or 3 – 2.03-ounce bags

Slime Coating

  • ½ cup packed brown sugar
  • ¼ cup butter
  • 1 (16 ounce) bag marshmallows
  • Green food coloring, to desired shade

Toppings

  • ½ cup candy eyeballs

Instructions

  1. Prepare the popcorn: Pour 10 cups of popped popcorn into a large mixing bowl, ensuring there are no unpopped kernels.
  2. Make the slime sauce: In a medium saucepan over medium heat, melt together the brown sugar and butter, stirring frequently to prevent burning.
  3. Incorporate marshmallows: Add the marshmallows to the saucepan and stir continuously until fully melted and the mixture is smooth.
  4. Add color: Stir in green food coloring until the mixture reaches an even, vibrant green color, resembling slime.
  5. Coat the popcorn: Pour the green marshmallow mixture over the popcorn and gently stir to evenly coat every piece.
  6. Set the slime popcorn: Spread the coated popcorn onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. For easier spreading, spray your hands with cooking spray to avoid sticking and press the popcorn gently into an even layer.
  7. Add eyeballs and cool: Sprinkle candy eyeballs over the coated popcorn and allow it to cool completely until it sets and becomes firm, about 20-30 minutes.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crispy popcorn for the best texture and flavor.
  • Spraying your hands with cooking spray or lightly oiling the spatula helps to prevent sticking when spreading the coated popcorn.
  • For a more intense slime color, add food coloring gradually until you reach the desired shade.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep the popcorn crisp.
  • You can substitute candy eyeballs with other spooky decorations like gummy worms or Halloween sprinkles.
