quick halloween treats.

A couple of really quick and easy Halloween snacks for those hungry little monsters in your life.

If you remember last year, Hunter’s school class had a healthy Halloween party, and I made these.

Well Ava has the same teacher this year, so she got an updated version of the apple snack.

Apple slices with marshmallow teeth. Use a light spread of peanut butter on the apples to hold it all together.

A little tray of chattering teeth, all ready to go. I also thought these would be so cute if you were doing the Tooth Fairy for a movie night. But all I could think of when I was making these was my Brother in Law, who’s a dentist, I think he would like them. ☺

Next, I thought they would be a little gross to eat, but once you get past the idea of what they are, they’re pretty yummy.

Start with some lollipop sticks and marshmallows.

Melt some butterscotch chips. (or peanut butter chips would work too)

And assemble to make some seriously gross Q-tips complete with ear wax.

 

I did add a little butter and corn syrup to my chips afterwards to make it a bit more smooth consistency, but just the melted chips worked okay too.

{And, no Mom, I didn’t make the hair band (but I wish I did, it is so cute!!) So the good thing about Lily being in every other day Kindergarten… Ava got to wear the hair band for her Halloween Party today.}

I feel like we should have a People Magazine article of who wore it better. ;)

Tried this at Hallowwen for my toddler's class, but replaced marshmallows with yogurt raisins, big hit! Thanks for the inspiration

A little more work - but I think I am going to dip pretzel sticks in almond bark instead of using lollipip sitcks plus it cuts down on the cost.

Soak apple slices in 7-Up or Sprite for 3-5 minutes and then store in fridge to avoid them from turning brown until ready to be served. :)

Toss apples in lemon juice and they will stay crisp and white until ready to eat. ;)
