These started as an inexpensive treat for my 1st daughters pre-k class 15 yrs. ago. And both of their classes thru elementary school. They've become a tradition that has lasted the test of time. Now I make them for bake sales & My girls. And they make them for their friends and one day hopefully ,,, their children.

1Place powered sugar and popcorn in jumbo zip-lock. close and shake to coat popcorn.
-
2Place coated popcorn, cereal, dried fruit, nuts, M&M-type candies in a LARGE bowl or what ever you have that will contain it and toss . (I use a brown grocery bag)
-
3Color fingernails on one side of fingers on all the gloves with permanent marker. (With a little supervision the kids can help with this) ... you don't need to be neat... monsters are not neat!
-
4Put some popcorn mix in glove and work into fingers of gloves.
