Halloween Zombies Popcorn Snack Treats
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), green sugar sprinkles
Place popcorn in a large bowl; set aside.
Melt butter over medium heat in a medium saucepan. Stir marshmallows into butter until melted. Stir in gelatin powder until evenly colored. Pour over popcorn and stir until evenly coated. With buttered hands, shape popcorn into 7 oval shapes.
Flatten one oval shape slightly and squeeze one end to form a ‘skull’ shape. Place onto parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining shapes.
To decorate: Press two gumballs into each skull to form ‘eyes’. Press candy corn into skull to from ‘teeth’. Use scissors to trim candy strips and press into top for ‘hair’. Sprinkle with sugar sprinkles.
Allow ‘zombies’ to set for about 20 minutes before wrapping individually in plastic wrap (or serve immediately).

These are a great treat for Halloween. They also do not look hard to make. Perhaps I shall have my granddaughter help me make these snacks.
My family would love these treats! They look very easy to make too. Perfect to snack on while watching Halloween movies!
These are so cute and scary with all of the candy details especially the gumball eyes.
The girls will love making these. Then we all get to eat them…. thank you for sharing.
