How cute are these little marshmallow ghosts? This easy breezy snack is sure to make any sweet tooth happy on Halloween. And let’s be honest, who isn’t a sweet tooth on Halloween!
S'more Dip
This sticky sweet treat is perfect for little kids on Halloween. Not only is it easy enough for them to help make it, but they’ll also love this for seeing what happens to Peeps when they face a hot oven. The only challenge will be preventing double dipping when those graham crackers or pretzel sticks come out!
Fish Stick Mummies
