In today’s post: Looking for fun, easy Halloween treats to make with your family? I’ve gathered over 40 ideas for doable treats that your kids can help you make. You’ll find Halloween rice krispie treats, pretzel treats, Halloween cupcakes, easy Halloween donuts, and more.
Making something together with my kids is one of my favorite things to do…as long as that “something” is easy enough to not cause a giant mess or huge amounts of frustration. Since we like to celebrate holidays around here with food, I’m sharing over 40 easy Halloween treats today that you can make with your kids – these are cute enough to serve at a Halloween party!
These are Halloween treats and snacks the kids can actually help make without getting discouraged. Many of them only take a few ingredients. 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 40+ fun and easy Halloween treats to make with your kids.
