The other night my children discovered the wonder of Pinterest. While the boys watched their dad play a video game, I was searching for fun Halloween treats the kids and I could make together – and before I knew it all the kids were clustered around my laptop, pointing out their favorite ideas and arguing over which ones we were going to make first. When I told them it was time for bed, they all asked to stay up late so we could keep browsing Pinterest together. After a few more minutes of scrolling, my 6-year-old said, “I want to be a blogger when I grow up!”
Together we picked out our favorite treat ideas. I had two stipulations. First, no gross out treats. Just not my thing. And second, I wanted to find easy treats the kids could actually help make without getting discouraged. Some of these will require adult help (baking the cupcakes or cookies, etc.,) but decorating and assembling these treats should be well within the scope of most kids. Nothing too complicated. Here’s our list of 20 fun Halloween treats to make with your kids:
1. Mummy cupcakes from A Pumpkin and a Princess
2. Spooky Oreo eyeballs from 100 directions
3. spiderweb sugar cookies from It’s Always Autumn
4. Yummy mummy treats from Crazy Little Projects
6. Monster mouths from Raining Hot Coupons
7. Gooey monster eyes cookies from Lil’ Luna
8. Mini donut spiders from It’s Always Autumn
10. White chocolate ghosts from Crazy Little Projects
11. Witches hats from Cincy Shopper
12. Witch hat surprise cookies from This Mama Loves
13. Boonana pops from Skinny Taste
14. Monster pretzels from Made to be a Momma
15. Candy corn marshmallow people from Knead to Cook
