Really though.....I have a pretty good time celebrating with the kiddos on Halloween. We get to dress up. We get to eat candy. What is not to love?
Okay....maybe the day after Halloween is not to love.....
This year my school district made the day after Halloween a PD/PLC day. Smart. Soooo......the kids can stay out as late as they want tricking and treating and won't be sluggish the next day at school! I call that a win!
Anyway....if you are looking for some fun, festive and cheap treats to handout to your students, or to make for your kiddos at home...check out these ideas I whipped up over the weekend! :)
Cheese Ghosts-- get a pack of cheese sticks and sharpie on eyes and mouth! Cheap, healthy and oh so spooooooky! :)
Mandarin Orange Jack O' Lanterns-- A cup of mandarin oranges (or peaches) with a Jack O' Lantern face drawn on in sharpie. Again--healthy and cheap! :)
Witch's Broom-- Reese's peanut butter cups, with a pretzel rod pushed into the center. Be careful when you push in the pretzel rod---those peanut butter cups can break easily!
Spider cookies-- Simply bake any type of cookie according to package directions and place a Reese's peanut butter cup on top shortly after the cookies come out of the oven. I let my cookies cool for about 5 minutes before placing the peanut butter cup on top. Use chocolate frosting to pipe on the spider legs. I didn't have a lot of time, so I used pre-made peanut butter cookie dough and pre-made bagged frosting. :) Still tasted good! :) The last step is to attach the eyes--I did this while the Reese's were a little bit melty, but you could easily use some frosting as "glue" and place on the backs of the eyes after the cookies have completely cooled.
Hope you enjoy these fa-BOO-lous Halloween ideas! Drop me a message and let me know what treats you make for your students or kids at home.
Happy Halloween!
