Pumpkin Poop


Note: The boys and I love making "happies" for friends. This one is very easy and of course the boys get a big kick out of it! So.... watch for other holiday versions of the "poop"!

Fill bag with candy corn. Fold over and staple. Attach poem (below) to the top! Easy. Easy. Easy.

I started to carve a pumpkin
with my carving knife and scoop
But the pumpkin got so scared
He took a little poop!

It looked so cute and funny
Just like a candy treat
So I'm sharing it with you now
Because you are so sweet!

Nutter Butter Ghosts


Note: Although I am not a big fan of Halloween, I love any excuse to get in the kitchen with my boys and make fun treats!

Nutter Butter Ghosts

Ingredients
Nutter Butter brand peanut butter cookies
White chocolate or dark chocolate
mini chocolate chips

Directions
Melt your white chocolate over a double boiler. Dip the nutter butter cookies into the chocolate. Place on wax paper or drying rack. Once cooled, use the mini chocolate chips for the eyes! How easy is that?
