Halloween Snacks - Sweet Treats

Want to get this one in before time runs out for school treat day.  Take a looks at these sweet treats.

These little spiders are a great alternative to the spider cupcakes.  You can control the size and content; and the are not as messy as a cupcake, unless you are me.  I can make a mess of anything. All you need here is chocolate rice crispy treats, black Twizzler sticks (separated and cut to size), and mini M & Ms.  Just add your accessories before the rice crispy treats are totally cooled. 

Store bought chocolate drop candies with a little bit of add-ons to make a cute little spider.  Again, using the Twizzlers legs, maybe coconut for the fangs, candy raspberries and sprinkles for the eyes.  Warm the chocolate slightly to get your goodies to adhere.  Yummy bites.

 This pumpkin cupcake is great for the older kids and adults who are not so into the scary and fun stuff.  Crazy to think that anybody does not but I think there are a few people like that out there.  Wouldn't this make a great table decoration all fall?  I would use a pumpkin recipe, colored cream cheese frosting and pretzel pieces for the stem.

This great looking bundt cake can be make with an orange and chocolate recipe or a pumpkin and chocolate recipe.  Or you can go out with the the Halloween Rainbow recipe.  I bet it taste as good as it looks.

 

Decorating cupcakes is always fun for adult and kids. This is just a fun selection that I found on line.  I really like the variety of candies used.  Do you see the rabbit?  I think that is the Easter Bunny making an early appearance.  

Again with the cupcakes.  This can be absolutely any flavor you desire with chocolate sprinkles as a topper.  If you are ambitious you could crush chocolate cookies for a topper.  They both will look great as 'dirt'.  Any oval cookie will make the tombstone and a little frosting marker will make the 'RIP' and easy add on.  Making these for an adult gathering or office party?  You may want to add a few names to the tombstones.  

I don't know if this is a healthy treat or not.  You start with chocolate pudding, top with crumbled wafer cookies to look like dirt, add a cracker or oval cookie with a bit of frosting writing, and if you are creative, add a bit of a flower with orange frosting or sugar trims.  Great way to give into the kids with a 'not totally' unhealthy treat.

And to close with -
I'll leave you with a couple of healthy treat ideas.  This is a brief preview of the next treat post and a reminder of a past post. 

 

Boiled egg eye balls with guacamole filling, olives and pimento trims.

You cold use cottage cheese or cream cheese with a touch of green food coloring for your filling if you prefer.   

Yummy and creepy too.  These apple pieces with teeth almost don't look edible but definitely will be a hit with the kids.  The love the creepy stuff and apples too.  You have a variety of items you could use for the teeth - almond slices (broken into rough pieces), tiny cuts of string cheese, and even tiny pieces of apple.  This is one of my favorites. 

That's it for now.  Another bunch of Halloween treats coming in just a couple of days.
