Fun Halloween Treats Your Kids Will Love!

Halloween is just around the corner, and that means it's time to start thinking about what treats you'll be giving out to all the ghosts, goblins, and witches! If you're looking for some fun, easy, and affordable Halloween treats that your kids will love, look no further. Here are 3 great ideas to get you started.

1. Mummy hot dogs: These little mummies are sure to be a hit with the kids! All you need are some hot dogs, pre-made croissant dough, and mustard or ketchup for the eyes. Simply wrap the hot dogs in the dough, leaving a small opening at one end for the mummy's "face." Then bake according to package directions. Once they're out of the oven, add on two dots of mustard or ketchup for the eyes and you're all set!

2. Spooky spider cookies: These cookies are so easy to make, and they're bound to be a big hit with all the little ghouls and ghosts! Start with premade sugar cookie dough (or your favorite recipe). Use a small spoon or melon baller to scoop out dough balls onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Then use a toothpick to make 8 legs on each side of the dough ball. Finally, bake according to recipe or package directions. Once they're out of the oven, let them cool completely before adding two small dots of black icing for the spiders' eyes.

3. Frankenstein marshmallows: These marshmallows are sure to bring a smile to any child's face! Start by unwrapping green Tootsie Rolls and flattening them out with your fingers. Then cut them into small strips that will be used for Frankenstein's "stitches." Next, take large marshmallows and insert two candy eyeballs into each one. For the finishing touch, use your green Tootsie Roll strips to make stitches across Frankenstein's forehead. So cute and so easy!

Halloween is such a fun time of year, and these treats are sure to help make it even more special! Get your kids involved in helping to make them - they'll love getting their hands dirty in the process. And don't forget to have plenty of candy on hand for when those little monsters come knocking at your door! Happy Halloween!
