Spooktacular Treats

I love holidays, and they are even more fun now that I have a kiddo.  We were looking for something to do one weekend in October, so we made a haunted gingerbread house.  I used melted marshmallows to glue the house together -- they weren't quite strong enough to hold for longer than an hour.  Next time I might try melting gummy bears and marshmallows together.

I needed to take treats to a Halloween potluck lunch at work.  My son told me I should make eyeball cupcakes (he is very creative!).  I used Lindt white chocolate truffles and decorated them with food markers.  They were a big hit!

Candy Corn Fruit Kebabs

There is so much candy and so many treats this time of year, that it's nice to find cute food that is healthy.

This idea came from Super Healthy Kids.

All you need is pineapple, mandarin oranges, apples (or banana), and toothpicks (or lollipop sticks).

The trick (haha!) is to line the fruit up on the cutting board and then cut the sides so they're even.  I dipped the apples in the pineapple juice so they wouldn't brown.

Fun and yummy for kids and grown ups!
