We have been having a lot of Halloween fun around here, and along with the fun comes yummy treats! Here are a few that we have made at our house!
Melted Witches:
You need green & chocolate candy melts, small chocolate cookies (I used generic thin mint cookies), and Hershey Kisses.
First, I melted the candy melts. I spread some green on waxed paper:
Then I spread some of the chocolate melts into the green:
While it's still melted, place a cookie on the "witch",
Add a dab of chocolate to a kiss,
and place on top of the cookie:
Next, I made these cute Krispie Monsters.
I needed rice krispie treats (I used store bought), candy eyes, and different colored candy melts.
I melted the candy one color at a time,
Spread candy melts on the top half of the treat,
Then place several candy eyes on to the "monster".
The kids loved these!
I also made jalapeƱo poppers that look like mummies. I needed jalapenos, crescent rolls, cream cheese/cheddar mix, and candy eyes.
After mixing on package of cream cheese with a package of cheddar cheese, I started on my peppers. I cut them in half and used a spoon to scrape out the inside.
Next, I filled with with cheese:
The next step is to roll out the dough and press the seams together to make a rectangle.
Slice the dough into strips:
and wrap around the pepper.
Bake at 350* for 20 minutes, then add eyes!
Cute pepper mummies!!
I made pretzel bark for the kids' teachers for Halloween.
You need chocolate and white chocolate almond bark, pretzels, and Halloween sprinkles.
First, melt the chocolate,
get a helper to put all those pretzels on,
Dump the chocolate out onto waxed paper,
spread the chocolate out thin, and add the pretzels.
Let the milk chocolate harden a little and then melt the white chocolate.
Pour over pretzels and hardened milk chocolate.
Now the fun part! Sprinkles!!!
After it is completely dry, break it up into pieces.
I bagged them up and put them in cute boxes.
Finally, we had a Halloween movie last night and we had this yummy drink. You need 7-Up (or Sprite), grape juice, and jello powder mix (we used cherry).
Pour half a glass of 7-UP:
half a glass of grape juice:
Then add a teaspoon of jello:
Give a bit of a stir and it foams up!!
The kids loved this drink!
I hope these treat tutorials come in handy for you over the next few days!
Happy Halloween!!
