• 24 ounces Chocolate Candy Melts
• Candy eyeballs (assorted sizes for monster fun!)
• Halloween sprinkles (purple, green, black bats, and more)

Instructions

1. Pop the popcorn and gather everything in one place.Microwave or bagged works great but I really like to pop the kernels on the stove to get a plain popcorn for this snack mix

3. Pour popped popcorn in a single layer on the parchment paper.
4. Melt candy melts (30-second intervals in the microwave, stirring in between) and drizzle over the top.
5. Use a spoon or tongs to mix the popcorn and candy melts together. Spread into a single layer.
6. Quickly add candy eyeballs and sprinkles before the chocolate sets.
7. Let the popcorn set at room temperature, then break into pieces and serve.

Frankenstein’s Monster is a super popular and classic Halloween Monster and it wouldn’t be Halloween without him making an appearance.  These super easy Frankenstein’s Monster Pudding Cups that Nicole made are great to make with the kids or for them for a Halloween party!

You could have the kids help you whisk the pudding, crush the cookies for Frankenstein’s Monster’s hair or fill the cups! The kids could also have fun drawing funny or spooky Frankenstein’s Monster faces on all of the cups before adding the pudding to them!

Isn’t it fun to take savory ingredients and turn them into fun Halloween appetizers and meals? This Frankenguac Frankenstine Guacamole is the perfect example!

Everything that goes perfectly with guac and chips turned into a creepy monster for your next Halloween party!

This guacamole looks just like Frankenstein – Here we go with Frankenguac! – Angie, Southern Halloween Queen

Even if you’re not having a Halloween party you can still make this fun Frankenguac for an appetizer for dinner! Maybe you could serve it right before you serve up Eyeball Pasta for dinner and Frankenstein Rice Krispie treats for dessert!

You can make your own homemade guacamole for this Frankenguac or you can use store bought! Either one will work perfectly for this!

What’s also great about this Frankenguac is that you can make it any size for any amount of people. If you’re having a big party you could make 1 giant Frankenguac or maybe a few smaller Frankenguacs to place around the table!

If you’re making this for dinner or to serve the family right before dinner you could make a small version!

FRANKENGUAC

Crystal says,

Here’s an easy one for your next spook-tacular get together… Frankenguac!  Halloween… birthday parties… or just because.

We loved the Jack-O-Lantern face on the Halloween stairs that we created last year, so we decided to take it a little further and create monsters throughout the house. They are made with simple supplies – paper and Duck Tape.

What happens when you take a little bit of time for Halloween crafting, adding in some mason jars and a bit of paint? You end up with the cutest Frankenstein Luminaries ever!

Not only would these Frankenstein Luminaries look super cute as they sat out during a Halloween party but these would also make GREAT take home souvenirs for kids at the party!

Either already made or if you have space and time, maybe this is something that kids could make during a Halloween party! Heck, I would have loved to make something like this when I was little at a Halloween party.

Not only are these Frankenstein Luminaries super cute during the day but they also look pretty neat at night!

Look at Frankenstein lighting up!

Amanda says,

Kids will love making these Frankenstein faces because they are so easy. You can make several different variations to create different expressions just by changing the eyebrows and smiles.

This is Halloween, This is Halloween! In this town we call home, everyone hail to the pumpkin song…. yes the song from The Nightmare before Christmas has been stuck in my head all week!

I do believe that it’s because Halloween is only a few weeks away!! Who’s ready? I know I am!

While I may not be into making “gross” and “gory” Halloween foods I do like to make some things that scream “Halloween”. Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats do just that, don’t ya think?

Now I already know that when I post these I’ll get comment or e-mails about them being unhealthy and full of “this and that”. Well I suppose it’s all in how you make them really.

I made these with regular rice krispy cereal, butter, marshmallows and chocolate. I’m sorry but sometimes I just want my comfort food/childhood favorites! It’s Halloween! I’m allowed to cheat

However, if you’re looking to make these a bit better for you here are some substitution ideas:

Rice Krispie Cereal — use Erewhon Crispy Brown Rice – Gluten Free Cereal
Marshmallows — use Dandies Vegan Marshmallows
Butter — use Earth Balance 
Green Food Coloring — use Natural Green Food Coloring 
Chocolate — use Enjoy Life Foods, Mini Chips, Semi-Sweet Chocolate
Eyes — I don’t know about this one, sorry.

For the ones you see here, I just used regular rice krispie cereal, large marshmallows, unsalted butter, melting chocolate wafers, yellow food coloring and blue food coloring along with a few candy eyes that I found at Hobby Lobby!

Frankenstine is probably one of my favorite monsters to turn into desserts other than witches. Erin made great little Frankenstein Marshmallow Pops for Halloween and they couldn’t be cuter!

Plus Marshmallow pops are super easy to make.

I love Frankenstine desserts and marshmallow pops are so easy! – Angie, Southern Halloween Queen

Just dip and decorate for a great gaggle of homemade Frankenstein Marshmallow Pops!

Grab the directions over on Erin’s blog! I’ve got a link for you below!

Frankenstein Marshmallow Pops

Erin says,

I tried a couple of techniques for the Frankenstein Marshmallow Pops, and the best was to get the icing pretty thin, and then dip and shake off the excess. I tried it thicker, and I just couldn’t get it as smooth. You can play with the consistency when you make them, because the humidity and everything else plays a roll in how the icing will act. But trust me, if I can make these cut little guys, you totally can!
