Easy Halloween Treats
Have you checked your schedule lately? Does your kiddo have a Halloween party in their classroom that you've forgotten all about? Or maybe you just can't deal with a big to-do right now? No worries. We've got all the tricks you need to be crowned the "Best Treats of the Party" without a lot of fuss!
If you're the type of parent that loves to get some 'pinspiration' but usually winds up with a 'Pinterest Fail', we've got you covered with these cute and easy treats that won't trick you in the kitchen. Self-professed awful artist, bumbling baker and catastrophic cook Jordan Hildebrand (that's me!) is here to give you HONEST reviews for some of the most pin-worthy creations that you can make with items you may already have at home.
Spooky Cinnamon Sugar Flour Tortilla Crisps
Use your echolocation skills to find this creepy crawly recipe at SimplyRecipes.
I have made these before and they have turned out lovely (as far as bats can) so I recommend them even for the non-baker.
Yummy Mummies
Don't worry, this recipe isn't under wraps! You can find it at Pillsbury.
This is another recipe that I have made before and has turned out well. They were DELICIOUS.)
Cheese and Pretzel Broomsticks
These creative treats come from One Little Project! I was so excited when I found these because even in my barren refrigerator I ACTUALLY ALREADY HAD BOTH ITEMS. This is definitely key for a last minute treat!
Spooky Milkshake
This idea is SO ADORABLE and *hopefully* crazy simple. If you want to hit the easy button, you can even make them with regular milk instead of a shake. Either way, these ghoulish ghosties are dairy good!
Slippery, Slimey Bowl of Worms
I was nervous about this recipe for worms from Instructables, but they look SO GOOD that I had to try. But making your own creepy crawlies is easier than it appears.
Pumpkin-ception Cake
This cake is a SHOWSTOPPER, recipe by SheKnows. I have successfully made this cake before, and people were in awe.
Creepy Shirley Temples
These ghoulish beverages from BoulderLocavore are delicious. You can do mocktail and cocktail so the kiddos can have a delicious drink and the more adventurous can have a "witches brew."
