Halloween Treats
No tricks, just treats & hosting ideas
I love the fun kid treats for Halloween and get completely disturbed by hands covered in prosciutto and fake brains made from jello or rice krispies. Seriously..ewww! I don’t want any of those in my kitchen.
Luckily my 13 year old hates scary things too. She went to an Amusement park a few weekends ago, that they basically make a huge haunted house, and never wants to go back. I was laughing so hard because that’s exactly how I was growing up. Also, you know she went with a friend’s parent because I’m not stepping foot into that arena.
If you have little kids or just scared ones like me, try out some of these fun Halloween treats. If you aren’t into Halloween themed treats, scroll to the bottom for some of my favorite Halloween hosting recipes.
Fun Halloween Themed Recipes
First up, is one of my favorites. If you are a candy corn hater like 90% of the world, just leave those out. I like eating crayon like candy, haha!
This Halloween Snack Mix is so delicious and addictive. It's a blend of sweet and salty Chex mix and uses candy corn and Reeces Pieces to add in the Halloween colors. Watch the entire bowl disappear in minutes at a Halloween Party!
These Halloween Dirt Pudding Cups will make you a star of any kid's Halloween party. They are so easy to make and so tasty, and my kid’s favorite…anything personal sized for kids is always a win.
These Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats are the cutest Halloween Dessert to make with the kids. Get the little ones pumped up for the Fall season and trick or treating with this fun Halloween Marshmallow treat.

Halloween Hosting
If you have friends or family coming over or you’re just planning to go out in the neighborhood, chili is always a great idea to make on Halloween. It’s easy to prep ahead and filling enough to where you don’t have to make much more food.
Make a topping bar with cornbread, cheese, jalapeño, sour cream, diced tomatoes, cilantro and avocado. Everyone can help themselves and you can keep the chili on low on the stovetop or in the crockpot.
This Dutch Oven Chili Recipe is packed with flavor & just a touch of heat. It only takes 15 minutes to prep and builds flavor in the dutch oven as it simmers. This is a classic recipe that goes really well with all the toppings mentioned.
For a less classic chili, but equally delicious, here is a Green Chicken Chili Soup. It’s super easy to prep and uses rotisserie chicken. For the topping bar with this one, use jalapeño, sour cream, tortilla chips, lime, cilantro and avocado.
That’s a wrap for this week! Get ready for some serious Holiday recipes coming soon. Happy Halloween and Happy Cooking!
