quick & tasty halloween goodies

we want to share some super easy halloween goodies with you today.

(these are actually easy enough that the kids could help out too!)

first up:

chocolate ghost pops

you'll need:

pretzels

white candy melts

mini chocolate chips

plastic baggie or squeeze bottle

wax or parchment paper

all you need to do is:

following the directions on the bag, melt your chocolate
cover a baking sheet with wax paper and lay out your pretzels
put your melted chocolate in the squeeze bottle or a baggie with the corner snipped
trace an outline of a ghost shape and then fill it in with chocolate
give your ghost friend some chocolate chip eyes
stick the cookie sheet in the freezer
it only takes about 10-15 minutes until your ghosts are ready!

so cute and yummy! :)

next up:

rice krispies mummies

you'll need:

white candy melts

boxed rice krispies (the perfect shape)

candy eyeballs

popsicle sticks

plastic baggie (snip the end larger than normal about 1/4")

wax or parchment paper

all you need to do is:

following the directions on the bag, melt your chocolate
unwrap your rice krispies treats and stick the popsicle sticks in
dip your treats into the chocolate and then set on your baking sheet that's been covered in wax paper
stick them in the freezer for about 5 minutes
using a little chocolate as the "glue" stick your eyeballs on
then with your chocolate in your baggie - "wrap your mummy"
stick them in the freezer so they can set up for about 10-15 minutes

then enjoy.

now when our little taste testers got home from school they filled us in on a little secret.... they were a bit too chocolaty. so... maybe skip dipping them? or just dip the front sides and not the entire thing.

i really don't know if there is such a thing as.... too chocolaty though??
