If you are having a Halloween party at your house, or need to take some treats to school for a class party, these are sure to be a hit. The best part? They take almost no time to make. October can be a really busy month, with all of the fun activities there are to do for Halloween, so if you're like most of us, you don't have a lot of time to spare.
This witch hat is made from Striped Shortbread cookies and a Hershey Kiss. I used a little tube of red sparkle gel, because that's what I had on hand (and I didn't have time to go back to the store), but green, orange, yellow or purple would be fun for the witch hat, too. Turn the cookie upside down. Then just put a little gel on bottom of the Hershey Kiss to make it stick to the cookie. Add a little ring of gel around the kiss and voila, you're done!
Of course you have to have a witch broom to go with the hat! For this one you just need a mini Reeses Peanut Butter cup and a pretzel. It doesn't get much easier than this! Just unwrap the Peanut Butter Cup and stick the pretzel in!
This spider won't scare the kids. It's just as yummy as it is cute, too. You just need Oreo cookies, pretzels, and some edible eyes, plus a little frosting (or peanut butter, Nutella, or even the cream filling from an extra Oreo!). Open your Oreo up, place four pretzels on each side. Add a little of the frosting (or any "sticky" substitute) and put the top back on. Put a dab of frosting on the back of each eye and place them on the Oreo and you're done. How easy was that?
This bat is so cute, and with a Reese's Peanut Butter Cup for the body, and Oreo for the wings, it's sure to please. This one is super simple to assemble, however getting the wings right took a couple cookies. If you are having kids assemble their own, you probably want to have the wings ready for them.
To make the wings, open up the Oreo, scrape off the cream filling (you'll use the filling) and break the chocolate cookie in half. It took both sides of the cookie for me to get two wings that looked like a match, but I was okay with that because I got to eat the "reject" pieces! Once you have the wings, unwrap the Reese's, place a dab of the filling on the end of the Oreo wings and stick them to the Reese's. Then put a little of filling on the edible eyes and stick them in place. That's it!
All of these treats are easy enough for kids to make themselves, so if you're having a party they could assemble their own! Pick up the supplies for these, add a couple simple craft projects, and you're ready for a party!
