Savvy Halloween Treats

Happy Halloween! In just a few short hours we'll have little goblins knocking on our door looking for treats. This holiday, more than any other, makes me feel like a kid again. And as a kid, I knew the best streets and certainly the best houses for candy. There was one lady in my town known for passing out bags of great candy and on occasion caramel apples. I remember being dazzled by this. I made sure I went to see her every year.


This Halloween I decided to be that lady on our street by giving away S'mores kits. Are you looking for a last minute favor or treat? You can do this too! Here's what you need:

A box of graham crackers

A bag of marshmallows

A bag of Hershey's milk chocolate bars

Mini cellophane bags

Halloween themed craft paper or stickers

Stapler



Each bag gets one graham cracker (break them into two parts so they fit nicely), a chocolate bar and a marshmallow. Staple the treat bag at the top and decorate with the craft paper. I used the Martha Stewart Crafts adhesive boarders normally used for scrapebooking.

These treats are super easy to prepare, inexpensive and sure to be the hit of the neighborhood. Let me know if you try it and the reaction you get!
