What's a cute food item to bring in to my daughter's pre-school for a Halloween party?!
Answers: I always make...there's no name for them. Melt chocolate and butterscotch morsels. Add peanuts and those crunchy chowmein noodles you can buy in a can at the market. Mix until coated and put on wax paper by spoonful and chill. They are so yummy and easy to make. My mom used to make these for us every Halloween.
JELLO JIGGLERS! haha. kids love em'. um cup cakes with orange icing.
cookies shaped like ghosts :D
make rice krispy treats and put orange food die while making them
spiders made of chocolate, peanuts (could substitute in case of allergies) and use the pull n peel licorice as the legs!! they are nummy and cute!!!
ooh, ok, this is online Kitty Litter cake that looks JUST like a litter pan with poop in it. Also, there are the old stand-by favs like witches fingers. hot dog weenie in crossant roll with 'finger nail' walnut in one end, cooked then colored with green food coloring. Just do a google search on either one. good luck!!
Ghost suckers. Tie a Kleenex around a sucker with some black or orange yarn and draw some eyes on it with a black marker. they look like ghosts and if you get the safety pops it won't be harmful to the children.
Get the cheap food service gloves (clear). Put a piece of candy corn in each fingertip for a fingernail. Fill with popcorn and tie closed with Halloween ribbon or yarn.
I used to make finger sandwiches. or eye ball cupcakes
for the finger sandwiches i would ust sandwiches , cream cheese and jelly or peanut better and jelly ( for the kids who cant eat nuts or if your school forbids peanuts use ham and cheese. Cu tthem into strups and then use an almond for teh fingernail. for eth eyeball cupcakes I use white icing and then use place icing and red icing to make the eye and veins.
my other favorite is popcorn balls. The kids love it
you know the peanut butter cookies shaped as peanuts?
well add black twizzlersas legs, and gummy bears and icing, and make spiders or something, its more of a kid project so do it with them and have some fun!

Tombstone Brownies
Ingredients
2 15- to 23.5-ounce packages of brownie mix
Aluminum foil
Powdered sugar
Unsweetened cocoa powder
Canned vanilla and chocolate icing
Purple, black, and green food coloring paste
Sealable plastic bags
Oreo cookie crumbs
3 4-inch lengths wooden skewers
Small sealable container
Shredded coconut
Directions
1. Line an 8x8x2-inch and a 9x13x2-inch pan with foil. Prepare each brownie mix according to package directions and bake one mix in each pan following directions. Cool in pans. Use edges of foil to lift and transfer brownies to a cutting board. Remove foil. From the 9x13-inch brownie, cut 1-1/2x3-inch rectangles for tombstones. Trim the top corners off of some of the rectangles.
2. Combine powdered sugar and a little cocoa powder and sprinkle mixture over the tombstones. Tint small amounts of vanilla icing with black and purple food coloring paste. Place each tinted icing into a sealable plastic bag. Snip a tiny hole in one corner of each bag and squeeze the icing to decorate the tombstones, referring to the photo for suggestions. Lightly sprinkle tombstones again with the powdered sugar and cocoa mixture.
3. Frost the top and sides of the 8x8-inch brownie with chocolate icing and sprinkle top with cookie crumbs. Insert about half of a 4-inch length of wooden skewer into the center bottom of three brownie tombstones. Position the skewered-tombstones on the frosted brownie with opposite ends of the skewers. (Place the other tombstones on a platter for people to eat right away!)
4. For the grass, place some green food coloring paste and a few drops of water into a small sealable container; stir to mix. Add coconut, seal the container, and toss the mixture to color the coconut. Sprinkle the green coconut around the base of each tombstone on top of the graveyard brownie.

Spooky Spider Cookies
60 (2 to 3-inch) or 16 (7-inch) cookies
Prep: 25 min.
Chill: 24 hr.
Bake: 7 min. per batch
Cool: 1 min. per batch
Stand: 1 min. per batch
View Nutrition Facts Ingredients
3 cups all-purpose flour
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1 egg
1/2 cup mild-flavored molasses
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Powdered Sugar Icing
Black and orange paste food coloring
Directions
1. In a medium mixing bowl, stir together flour, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In a large mixing bowl, beat butter with an electric mixer on medium to high speed 30 seconds.
2. Add the brown sugar; beat until combined, scraping bowl occasionally. Add egg, molasses, and vanilla and beat until combined. Beat in as much of the flour mixture as you can with the mixer. Stir in any remaining flour mixture with a wooden spoon. Divide dough in half. Cover; chill at least 24 hours or until easy to handle.
3. Preheat oven to 375F. On a lightly floured surface, roll each dough portion to about 1/4-inch thickness. With spider- and web-shaped cutters, cut into shapes. Place shapes 1 inch apart on ungreased cookie sheets. (Dip cutter in flour between cutting out each cookie. This helps prevent the dough from sticking to the cutter.)
4. Bake in preheated oven for 7 to 9 minutes for spider cookies (9 to 11 minutes for web-shaped cookies) or until edges are firm and bottoms are light brown. Let cool on cookie sheets for 1 minute. Carefully remove cookies; cool thoroughly on wire racks. Decorate with tinted Powdered Sugar Icing.
5. Powdered Sugar Icing: In a medium mixing bowl, stir together 4 cups powdered sugar, 2 tablespoons melted butter, and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Add milk, 1 teaspoon at a time, until icing reaches spreading consistency. Divide icing into portions and tint as desired.
To make webs on chocolate sugar cookies, spread with a base coat of frosting. Then pipe on the spokes with dark icing and use a toothpick to draw through the spokes.
Worms in dirt is always a favorite. Fill a glass baking dish with chocolate pudding, sprinkle crushed Oreos over the top and add gummy worms..very simple, and the kids love it.
