Halloween

Fall holidays like Thanksgiving inspire a lot of ideas for fun snacks. I used my boys’ favorite sweet, s'mores, as inspiration to make these easy and fun Pilgrim and Native American snacks. This Thanksgiving snack is not only fun, but it is also a creative way to give kids a little history lesson. Thanksgiving s'mores are easy to make and great for a kid-friendly Thanksgiving, school party or they just make a fun dessert!

It’s that spooky time of year again! Kids are picking out the perfect Halloween costume, and mom & dad are getting ready for a slew of trick-or-treaters. To get your family ready for Halloween, whip up these Ghost and Witches fun snacks. They are the perfect addition to a school Halloween party, or can be a festive after school sweet snack. Plus, your kids can get in on the fun and help decorate to make their very own ghost and witch.

These spooky Monster Crackers are a Halloween hit, not only because they are great for Halloween parties, but because I can include my kids on the cracker-making fun! This Halloween recipe is great because kids can show some of their creativity in the kitchen, and it is also a good way to get the kids to eat some new fruits. Whether you try the Frankenstein crackers, Mummy crackers, or the ghastly Dracula cracker, these silly Halloween snacks will bring a smile to your child's face.

Looking for a spooky and fun Halloween dessert idea? Set the scene this Halloween with this no-bake cake batter dip topped with cookie crumbles. This ghostly Halloween snack will be sure to disappear at a Halloween party, or even with just the family!

My kids love to decorate for the holidays, and Halloween is certainly no exception. Sometimes it is difficult to find time to decorate between all of their extracurricular activities, but putting together a fun, decorative Halloween display doesn’t have to be a major undertaking. And, it doesn’t need to break the bank either!

Halloween is almost here and I’m getting excited. I love to craft, bake and in general create with my two boys, and the holidays give me a specific reason to pull them into the kitchen or the craft room. I also like to volunteer in their classrooms. These simple, economical and creative Halloween trick-or-treat bags will be perfect for their class Halloween parties this year.

I love throwing Halloween parties for my kids, since they love planning out their costumes, dressing up and of course the candy. This year I’m throwing a small Halloween get-together and with a mix of planning, creativity and some fun recipe and food ideas, anyone can throw a successful and inexpensive Halloween party.

This Halloween get creative in the kitchen with your little monsters and whip up our Friendly Frankenstein Treats™. This Halloween recipe's “sweet” demeanor is perfect for mini party goers!

This Halloween snack has a delicate balance of sophistication and grossness making it perfect for your kid's Halloween party!! Better be careful and mind your manners, because they'll be watching you!!

Nothing says Happy Halloween better than a "killer" snack!

Have you ever noticed once Labor Day is over, how fall arrives so quickly? The greens and blues of summer somehow fuse into the oranges, reds and yellows of autumn. But Halloween is one of those holidays that literally creeps up on you.
