go buy some carmel filled candy bars and some apples.
you can slice the apples and break the candy into small chunks so its like a carmel apple treat. and then apple cider for drinks.
Try some homemade apple sauce, pumpkin pie, some toasted pumpkin seeds, decorated fall theme cookies........ there is always candy apples.
candy
Popcorn balls, carmel apples, trail mix
CHEX MIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Homemade is best, with any autumnal variations you want, like candy corn or those funky little sugar pumpkins mixed in.
Apples or homemade apple sauce. I made homemade fresh applesauce in my crockpot...it's a little time consuming but it's good!
I make baked apples that are filled with a mix of quick oats, brown sugar, cinnamon- they are yummy. You wash the apples, core them, scoop out most of the apple (careful not to break the apple) until it is almost hollow. fill the apple with a mix of quick oats, brown sugar and cinnamon, put a small pat of butter atop apple, put in a pyrex glass dish (approx. 4-6 apples), put water in dish bake in pre-heated 350 oven approx. 30-35 minutes. Yummy!
Graham crackers dipped in applesauce...taste like apple pie.
Applesauce, or for something a little less messy, pumpkin muffins. Just go light on the spice since it's for kids.
It's still too early to get kids that young excited about Halloween though, 3 weeks is forever for 5 & 6 year olds! So I'd skip the candy and other spooky-type stuff.
Caramel apples.
Caramel apples are always good. You can also make a pumpkin roll, when you cut them up to serve they look like little pinwheels.
- pumpkin bars w/cream cheese frosting
- popcorn balls, carmel corn, popcorn mix (popcorn, m&m's , mini marshmallows, raisins - usually I add nuts instead of raisins but you couldn't bring anything w/nuts to school because of allergies)
- apple fruit leather
- graham cracker sticks w/ cream cheese pumpkin dessert dip
