Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by filling a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, carefully add the pasta from your mac and cheese box. Cook for 12-13 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pasta is tender but slightly firm to the bite.
  2. After cooking, drain the pasta in a colander and return it to the warm pot. Shake off any excess water to prevent sogginess.
  3. Mix in the cheese sauce packet from your box along with 4 tablespoons of butter. Stir vigorously over low heat until the butter melts completely.
  4. Gradually add a few drops of green food coloring to the pot. Stir well and keep adding until you achieve a vibrant green hue.
  5. Spoon the eerie green mac and cheese into serving bowls and top each serving with several candy eyeballs to create a whimsical look.
