Toxic Waste Mac and Cheese

So who is bored with summer temperatures and ready to start decorating for fall…and Halloween? Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. It’s dark and creepy {at least at my house} and so different than the other holidays that are right around the corner. I am getting a jump on Halloween this year with the utterly disgusting looking Toxic Waste Mac and Cheese…..

Isn’t that terrifying?? But guess what? It is soooo delicious, your kids will eat up this Toxic Waste Mac and Cheese and ask for more!!I added the painter’s tape around the upper rim to keep the paint on the outside of the can. Make it as dark as you like, or make it neon orange, whatever works for you. 

I was going to paint a Bio-hazard symbol on the side, but there is a storm coming in and I was loosing daylight!
