Scary DIY treats
Searching the internet and Pinterest for creative treat ideas will yield some exciting options for your party. It’s a great way to set the mood for guests and will definitely impress the children. Below are a some simple but enticing spooky desserts you could try:
- Twinkie mummies: Take a twinkie and pipe flat “strips” of frosting back and forth across the twinkie until it is dressed with frosting wrappings. Finish it off with two black candies for eyes.
- Apple teeth: Begin by slicing red apples. Between two slices, coat the insides with peanut butter. Add mini marshmallows across the bottom slice and then top with the other apple slice.
- Mummy dogs: Take ready made crescent dough and slice in thin strips. Wrap around hot dogs and bake in the oven according to dough package.
- Spider eggs: Make deviled eggs. Cut an olive in half and place it on the yellow yolk as the spider body. Slice the other half of the olive into slivers and place 8 of them around the body as legs.
- Witch hat cookies: Take a thin mint cookie and pipe a dollop of orange frosting on top. Unwrap a kiss candy and put on top of the frosting. Pipe a yellow buckle on the pointed hat. Choose a delicious dinner not to be forgotten.
