Instructions

  1. Fill the Muffin Tin
    Grease a muffin tin lightly, then spoon in mac and cheese and press down to compact.

  2. Add the Cheese
    Sprinkle tops with cheddar for a melty cap.

  3. Bake
    Bake at 375°F for 12–15 minutes until set around the edges.

  4. Cool and Decorate
    Cool for 5 minutes. Sprinkle Mellow Dusk on top to give a sweet and smoky flavor then press on candy eyeballs so each cup looks like a little monster peeking up.

Pro Tip

You can make your mac and cheese a spooky green color by adding a small amount of spinach powder. Not too much though!
