Monster Mash Popcorn Mix
I have an enthusiastic Four Year Old Foodie. Since he is always putting up with my boring measuring and stirring I thought it would be fun to get a little crazy in the kitchen. So we popped a bunch of popcorn using the homemade microwave method, drizzled it with chocolate, and threw in bunches of candy corn, Reese’s Puffs cereal, and these funky eyeball candies.
I usually save my chocolate popcorn for Christmastime when we have an excess of chocolate leftover from dipping buckeyes. But how could I say no to my little guy when he first saw these candy eyeballs? I waited for my 40% off coupon and nabbed a pack as soon as I could.
Our family enjoyed munching on this Monster Mash. However the longer that I stared at these photos the more I started to see chickens. Do you see chickens? Have I mentioned that I’m weird? Anyway, Monster Mash Popcorn Mix or Funky Chicken Popcorn Mix- you decide. I’m going back for seconds.

I love your melted chickens, but I kind of agree with Netasha P that they do resemble a melted Big Bird. These are great and I think I prefer the clusters rather than the loose combination where the candycorn always falls to the bottom. I am definitely trying this. I am doing a last minute guest blog on HighDesertBlogging.com, and was wondering if it’s OK for me to use your photo and a link back to your photo in a list of quick and easy last minute Halloween Treats?
I have a morbid sense of humour so hide the little ones eyes but I see Big Bird in a Blender or he has drunk some Mr Hyde juice and is now a Muppet Monster..LOL (sry to the little ones)
I love this and must make it for October!! I have a pack of those eyes too, they sell them at Wal-Mart.
