Steps:
- Pop the popcorn using a standard popcorn popper or make a bag of popcorn in the microwave following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Place the marshmallow topping and butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and allow to melt. Divide the marshmallow into smaller bowls (as many colors as you'd like) and add desired food coloring.
- Pour the heated marshmallow over the warm popcorn and sprinkle with the salt. Using a gloved hand, massage the mixture into the popcorn and form into 8 balls. As the balls are formed, place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool and harden, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Add candy monster eyeballs to the balls.

- Place the marshmallows in a large heat-proof microwave-safe bowl. Add the butter cubes on top. Place in the microwave and cook for 1:30 to 2 minutes, or until the marshmallows puff up. Remove the mixture from the microwave and whisk until the butter is incorporated. Add the green food color and salt. Whisk until well combined. (This can also be done in a saucepan on the stove top.)
- Place popped popcorn in an oversized mixing bowl. Pour the melted marshmallow mixture on top and stir together with a wooden spoon. This will be messy, and you won’t be able to coat every piece of popcorn, but do the best you can.
- Spray your hands with baking spray or butter them. Shape the mixture into 8 apple-sized balls and place on a piece of parchment paper. Re-spray or butter hands as needed. Refrigerate popcorn balls until firm.
- Use a knife to cut a slit in one side of a popcorn ball. Insert plastic vampire teeth and shape the popcorn ball around it. If the vampire teeth are too springy they will cause the popcorn ball to split in half. If you experience this, reshape the ball and cut the teeth at the hinges with scissors; insert the teeth as two separate pieces (I had to do this with 2 of my monsters). Repeat with remaining popcorn balls.
