Freakishly Fun Halloween Treats that you can make with your kids
Happy Halloween…well, almost! If you have kids, then you’re probably all too familiar with the last minute, “Mom, I signed you up to send in a treat for the class party, and it can’t contain… peanuts because Henry is allergic. You know Mom, that I’m not supposed to have Gluten, even though you sometimes let me (Bad Mom Alert), and there are 2 other kids that will turn green with purple spots if they eat it (slight exaggeration, don’t be alarmed), so…yeah. Oh, and it can’t have blah, blah, blah in it either!” You cringe at the thought of figuring out what Fun Halloween Treats you can send in that is safe for the kids, that contains at least some sort of nutritional value, and that tastes good. You finally ask the key question “When is the party?” Seriously…You already know there is never advanced warning, so why bother asking…”Tomorrow morning, during snack time!”
Take a deep breath Mom (uh, yeah…let it out), there’s no need for you to FREAK OUT this time wondering what you’re going to brew up…I’ve got your back! Here you’ll find 5 Super Fast, Easy and Freakishly Fun Halloween Treats that your kids can help make too. These treats can easily be altered to allergy free if needed, so all of the kids can enjoy their fun treats together.

It doesn’t get much healthier, easier, or cuter than these Pumpkin “Cuties” & “Cheesey” Ghosts for Fun Halloween treats!

Directions: Simply draw little jack-o-lantern faces on the Clementines (write lightly to avoid the ink from soaking into the skin) and Ghost faces on the cheese sticks and your are all set! Such fast, easy, healthy, & fun Halloween treats!

Spooky Trails Harvest Mix is perfectly “Sweet & Salty”, and so easy to throw a quick batch together. It’s great for parties or an after school snack, so add this to your list of fun Halloween treats! Ingredient substitutions may be needed, depending on any allergies. Now, I know there is nothing too spooky about this trail mix, by my son insisted that we use the word “Spooky” in it’s name for the sake of Halloween. So, there you go, HA! You will find the recipe below with GF (Gluten Free) options. The Chex Cereal is already GF, so you would just need to make sure that you use GF Pretzels, and change out the M&M’s for a yummy GF cookie crumbled into pieces. Use Allergy Free Chocolate Chips if needed (they taste great!

_WARNING: These are Completely Addicting!!! _ I’m not a big marshmallow fan, like…Not At All, but I love these! Are they healthy and nutritious? Uh NO! Well, I guess I can say at least I am getting fiber from the popcorn, right? Yes, I’ll go with that! Anyways, these fun Halloween treats only have 5 simple ingredients and are super fast & easy to make. Your hands will get sticky & messy though, so be prepared! It’s pretty basic really, you pop some popcorn, melt some butter & marshmallow in a pan, and mix them together. The trick to keeping the stuff from sticking to your hands is BUTTER! Just cover your hands in melted butter and you will easily be able to ball them up. Okay “Butter Fingers”, it’s as simple as that…so go ahead and get started & make these Fun Halloween Treats! Once they are in balls, cover them with your choice of sprinkles.
