Trick and Treats with Halloween Sweets
|
The bewitching season is here! Gather the goblins, conjure up some creative costumes and prepare scary, scrumptious sweets for a great ghostly gathering.
Making these frighteningly fabulous party treats together is a perfect way
for mom and the kids to share some spooktacular fun.
* Cast a spell right from the start with a Happy Haunted House. Begin with a ready-to-decorate Halloween Cookie House Kit available at craft and hobby stores. The house is pre-assembled; just decorate and enjoy!
* Sweetly smiling Goldfish Grahams do double duty as both roofing "tiles" and
a wholesome snack (they're made with whole grains, without artificial preservatives). Kids can affix the Goldfish crackers to the roof after it's been iced (and enjoy snacking on them as they work), making sure to give equal representation to each flavor: * B-O-O Pops are easy ... nothing sinister here! Use a brownie mix for convenience and bake in the Brownie Pop Silicone Mold to ensure perfect pops. The kids can insert the lollipop sticks, then dip pops into the colorful Candy Melts. Decorating sprinkles and sugars add the finishing flourish.
* Halloween Goldfish Munch is a snappy party snack or a tantalizing take-away
for ghoulish guests. Kids can mix the Goldfish crackers (graham and pretzel flavors), with nuts and dried fruits while Mom melts the Spooky Green Candy for drizzling.
Add favorite beverages and let the spookalicious party begin!
