Eat and enjoy a fun Halloween snack.

When I was a kid this was a fun Halloween snack that we took to school. When my children were little this was a great healthy snack to take to Pre-School to share with the class. Let your children and grandchildren get creative with this easy food project. They could cut out eyes, teeth and more depending on your cookie cutters design. They could even add vegetables as eyes for decorations.

This is an easy project to do anytime during the Halloween season. You could make this for breakfast, dinner, supper or for just a fun healthy snack. Let’s have some fun this Halloween from Suzie Homemaker.

Simple easy Halloween Treats

                Halloween is almost here, now it is time for some fun treats for the kids to bring to school. When I was growing up my mother always made treats for our class on Holidays. Since my parents had 4 children, this could get very expensive. So today I will show you how to make this easy very inexpensive treat that all the kids will like.

                Here’s what you will need: 1 large,box of generic Rice Krispies (Don’t buy the name brand, no one will know the difference). A bag of generic marshmallows, ¼ cup of margarine or butter, 1 small box of orange jello, green food coloring, cookie sheet sprayed with non- stick spray, a big microwaveable bowl, spoon, wax paper, Halloween cookie cutters and your own imagination.

1.       Take your bag of marshmallows and ¼ cup of margarine or butter and melt them in  the big bowl in the microwave for about 2 minutes

.

2.       Take your box of orange jello, dry ( do not add water) and mix into your melted marshmallows and butter. Stir until everything turns orange.

3.       Add your 6 cups of Rice Krispies and mix well.

4.       Pour your mixture onto a greased cookie sheet, and flatten out.

5.       Spray your cookie cutters or butter them so they do not stick. Push your cookie cutters into the cereal to make ghosts, cats or pumpkins.

6.       With the left over cereal make some little pumpkins.

7.       Make some round balls. They are already orange.

8.       Take a little of the cereal and make some stems. Take green food dye and place them on top. Now you have a little pumpkin.

9.       This way you have no wasted cereal left over.

These Halloween treats cost under $5.00 dollars to make. This would be a fun project to do with your children or grandchildren. Having fun at Halloween does not have to cost a lot of money.  These treats have a nice orange flavor and color to them without adding more dyes. This whole project took less than 30 minutes to make.  Have a safe and Happy Halloween from Suzie Homemaker.
