R2d2 was pointing since he had to stop bobbing for apples for the picture ;)
Strawberry Ghost
Strawberries with melted white chocolate and ghost faces....using different color icing.
Halloween Rice Crispy Treats.
You can make your rice crispy treats, but for the sake of time I used the boxed per made ones, dipped in icing, then dipped in sprinkles. Easy and fast and kids favorite!!
Mummy Hotdogs
I used Boar Heads hotdogs and pillsbury crescent rolls. Slice crescent dough with pizza cutter into strips then wrap around hot dog leaving space for eyes. Bake for 18 minutes at 350 degrees then use mustard for eyes.
Jello Worm Cups
Using jello in these cups and just adding some gummy worms made these another kid favorite.
Candy Corn Pudding
I used butterscotch pudding for bottom layer, vanilla with yellow food dye for second layer, then banana for top layer.
Guacamole Throw Up
Make your favorite guacamole dip, carve a small baking pumpkin into a jack o lantern then add to pumpkins mouth and running over onto platter. My recipe is only mashing 4 avocados, 1 tomato, garlic, salt and pepper, jalepeno, and lime altogether.
Ranch Pumpkin Head Dip
Mix your favorite veggie dip and add to cleaned out small pumpkin. Add cut up veggies or chips.
Games:
We played a lot of games. For adults we pinned scary movie characters to their backs for the to ask YES or NO questions to figure out. We also incorporated Minute To Win It games and a couple scary movie trivia worksheets.
For the kiddos, we bobbed for apples, wrapped each other up as mummies, pinned the hat on the witch, some Halloween crafts, and some karaoke.
