Making Fun Halloween Food for Kids

When it comes to Halloween-themed Party Foods, the world is your oyster. It's relatively simple to turn anything you might serve into a creepy, crawly Halloween treat.

Here are a few simple ideas:

Rice Cereal Halloween Treats

Marshmallow Haystacks

• Here's a great variation to the rice cereal treat recipe.
• Replace the rice cereal with corn flake cereal.
• Follow the instructions combining the cereal, melted marshmallow and butter mixture.
• Mold the cereal mixture into the shape of haystacks.
• Add an orange candy corn pumpkin to the top of each haystack.

Candy Corn Ice Cream Sundae

• Into one cup of partially thawed vanilla ice cream, mix in one tablespoon of candy corn (coarsely chopped) and one tablespoon of dry roasted peanuts (coarsely chopped).
• Scoop into ice cream bowl.
• Freeze until firm.
• When ready to serve, drizzle caramel ice cream topping over the ice cream mixture, a dollop of whipped cream and some additional candy corn and peanuts.

Halloween Napoleons

• Thaw one sheet of frozen puffed pastry.
• Divide the puff pastry into three equal sections and bake according to package directions.
• Crush enough Oreo cookies to make 1-1/2 cups.
• Set aside.

• Prepare one package of vanilla pudding only add a few drops of orange (or combination of red and yellow) food coloring.
• Set pudding aside.
• Whip one small carton of whipping cream until stiff.
• While whipping, add two teaspoons vanilla and one teaspoon sugar.



• To build the napoleon, lay one sheet of baked puff pastry on serving tray.
• Spread 1/2 of the pudding mixture on the puff pastry.
• Sprinkle 1/3 of the crushed cookies on top of the pudding.
• Spoon dollops of whipped cream on top of the cookies and follow by a second layer of puff pastry.
• Continue layering pudding, cookies and whipped cream.

A Fun Halloween Breakfast

• For some spooktacular Halloween pancakes, melt 1/2 cup of chocolate chips in a microwave safe container.
• When melting chocolate, melt at 30-second intervals and stir each time.
• Pour or spoon melted chocolate into a heavy-duty plastic zip top bag.
• Press all the chocolate into one corner of the bag and with a scissor, cut a tiny corner off the edge of the bag.
• Make pancakes and with the melted chocolate, pipe a jack-o-lantern face on the pancakes.
