  • 2 1/2 quarts popped popcorn
  • 6 tablespoons butter or margarine
  • 3 cups mini marshmallows
  • 4 tablespoons lime gelatin powder
  • red gum balls
  • candy corn
  • flat green candy strips or fruit leather

Directions for Zombie Popcorn:

Place popcorn in large bowl; set aside.

In medium saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir marshmallows into butter until melted. Stir in gelatin powder until evenly colored.

Flatten one oval slightly and squeeze one end to form “skull” shape. Place on parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining ovals.
