Here are two afterschool snacks or Halloween party treats.
Olive Spiders:
Make skinny carrot sticks. Take three sticks for the legs and stuff them into a large pitted black olive so they make 6 legs (yes, spiders have 8 legs).
Take a round white paper plate and draw a spider web on it to serve your spiders on.
Ear Wax on a Q-tip:
Put a few drops of green food color into Cheeze Whiz and stir it to make the ear wax. Or use peanut butter.
Put mini marshmallows on the ends of small stick pretzels to make the Q-tips. Dip the Q-tips into the ear wax!
Thank you for the ideas. My youngest daughter is now in her second year of high school so my children want more sophisticated after school snacks these days. I will remember those ideas for when I have grandchildren, but so far none of my children or my stepson who is 30 years old already are married, so there are no grandchildren on my horizon for a few years yet.
I have some great nieces and nephews that would like them though, so I wil tell their mom’s and grandmom’s your ideas as they would love them.
Adorable and creative Halloween snacks!
The highlight of our neighborhood at Halloween was the house that gave out big popcorn balls wrapped in cellophane. I always ate mine right away as I walked along to other houses. (I know; it was a different time.)
Anyone have a great popcorn ball recipe? I’d like to relive some happy memories.
