Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Once boiling, add the pasta from the mac and cheese box and cook for 12-13 minutes, until tender but still al dente.
- Carefully drain the pasta using a colander and return it to the pot over low heat to keep warm.
- Add the cheese sauce packet and 4 tablespoons of butter to the warm pasta. Stir vigorously for about 2 minutes until the butter melts and the sauce blends smoothly.
- Gradually add a few drops of green food coloring, stirring continuously until you achieve your desired spooky shade of green.
- Spoon the Halloween Monster Mac and Cheese into individual bowls and top each serving with candy eyeballs for a playful presentation.
Notes
Stir well after adding the cheese sauce and butter to ensure even creaminess. Overcooking the pasta can lead to a mushy texture, so aim for al dente. Mac and cheese is best served warm.
