Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Monster Mac and Cheese
  1. Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a rolling boil over high heat.
  2. Add the macaroni from your kit to the boiling water and stir to prevent sticking. Cook for 12-13 minutes until the pasta is tender yet slightly firm to the bite.
  3. Carefully drain the cooked pasta in a colander and return the warm macaroni to the pot.
  4. Add the cheese sauce packet and butter to the warm macaroni. Stir continuously over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes, until fully melted and creamy.
  5. Gradually stir in the green food coloring until you achieve the desired spooky hue.
  6. Spoon the bright Monster Mac and Cheese into bowls and top with candy eyeballs or alternative decorations.
