AND instructions for these Zombie Boogers: 

1. Gather all ingredients:

Large Micro-safe bowl  (a tall mixing bowl with a handle would work awesome if you have one) *It must be large enough to handle Bubbling mixture it can grow up to 3 times when cooking

1 cube butter

{ingredients for Zombie BOOgers}

2. Prepare recipe by:

Put air popped popcorn in brown paper bag ( I lightly salted my popcorn)

Put all other ingredients minus the food coloring and baking soda in micro safe bowl. Cook on normal power for 3 minutes. Stir well and then return to microwave for another 3 minutes. Mixture will be bubbling. Stir in food coloring to make a dark green color and then add baking soda. Return to micro for another 15 to 30 seconds. Pull out while it is bubbling and pour over popcorn in paper bag. Stir or shake mixture to coat well. Fold bag closed and put in micowave for 45-60 seconds. Shake very well, and or stir in bag and then return to microwave for another 45-60 seconds. Shake again and then remove from bag onto thin layers on baking sheets. It should crisp up within minutes and it can be broken up and packaged.

 I also made smaller tags for these that can be printed 10 to a 8.5×11 page for anyone who would like them. I just made some Zombie BOOgers for a party and packaged them in small clear bags with these labels. Then I served them in a witches caldron. 

Fun huh?!!

Who knew ZOMBIE boogers could be so FUN?!!

There are ten labels to a page here. One batch got me 20-30 small single clear bags of popcorn.
