Hi Everyone, hope you are all enjoying this nice weekend! I don’t think I’ve ever posted Saturday afternoon, it’s nice to actually be home relaxing, it’s a great cloudy day here in AZ.
I don’t know about you guys, but Halloween is hands down one of my boys’ favorite holiday. Free candy, and everything creepy, crawly and spooky is so exciting to little boys, well most kids for that matter! They beg and plead to go to the “halloween” isle in EVERY store we go to so they can press EVERY “try me” button in sight then run around like crazy animals. Half the time I’m freaked out by the stuff they have for sale these days, I’d have run for the hills if I saw some of this when I was a kid!
We had so much fun making these fun treats to get excited for Halloween.Hope you all will enjoy them too!
Breadstick Mummy Dogs
1 roll/pkg Pillsbury Breadstick dough (12 count)
12 hot dogs
1.Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.Unroll all 12 breadsticks from package.Cut each into 3 equal strips.Take 3 strips, one at a time and wrap around 1 hot dog starting from the top of the hot dog. (Each hot dog has 3 thin breadstick strips around it).Leave a small space towards the top of the hotdog to make mustard eyes.Continue wrapping all dogs then place on a lightly greased baking sheet.Bake for 10-15 minutes or until lightly golden brown.
2. Remove and let cool for 5 minutes. Use mustard or ketchup for the eyes.
The boys loved this bug-apillar banana dude. It’s great for them to get their hands dirty and help put the pieces together. Little banana legos.
Bug-apillar Banana Dude
1 ripe banana
Creamy Peanut Butter
Pretzel Sticks
Raisins
Red Fruit Snacks
1. Cut banana into 1 inch slices. Spread a thin layer of peanut butter on each slice (minus the last piece) then press gently back together, curving slightly if desired. Break pretzel sticks in half, then press into sides of banana for legs. Dip 2 raisins in peanut butter and stick on front banana slice for eyes, then dip red fruit snack in peanut butter and stick on bottom of banana slice for the tongue.
These are so much fun. You might have to play with a couple apples to get the wedge just right on the skin side of the apple, just takes a little practice. To get the oozing effect, I used my husbands “organic” peanut butter which is ultra creamy, otherwise you can just heat up your regular peanut butter for a few seconds in the microwave. Enjoy!
Ooozing Monster Apple Mouths
1 large Apple of choice
Peanut Butter
Mini Marshmallows
1.Core then cut the apple into fourths.Cut out a small wedge on the skin side of the apple.Blot inside with a paper towel then spread lightly with creamy peanut butter.Cut mini marshmallows in half and place over peanut butter to make the teeth.
Enjoy the rest of the Weekend, see ya’ll soon!

Freaky! I keep forgetting Halloween exists since here they’ve skipped right to Christmas! It makes me sad, I love Halloween! I guess church is putting on a little party, it will be like Halloween in AZ -Laine can finally be a fairy princess instead of a Mummy or Obominable Snowman!
These are great, kids love this stuff. I need to be more festive like you!
Thanks for the ideas. I think I’ll be making the mummy’s on Halloween night. Sounds like a great food prior to the night out. Thanks for all your terrific ideas. I just drool every time I visit your site. Happy Halloween!
This is my first time here. SO creative! I will be back.
I love, love, love the ghost hot dogs! Especially the mustard eyes! What a riot!
We’ve made the mummy dogs before and the kids squealed with delight…so much fun!!! BTW, have you seen the seriouslysoblessed.blogspot.com blog…it’s crazy funny…I think you would like it!!!
Those are too cute! Earlier today I saw a pic with the apples, but the just cut the slits and shoved almonds in for teeth. It looked gross, but cute. 🙂

I seriously love Halloween food! I’m so excited to make these for my kids. They will love them!
This is sooooo darling! I can’t wait to try these out. My youngest guy is so picky and I can’t wait to try these out on him as a fun way to get him to eat more than just carbs. I’m also in charge of the preschool fall festival–so I know these will be a hit. Thanks!
That is to funny!
Only a Mom would think these things up. I love it!
I could have sworn I left a comment the other day…hmmm…maybe I messed up on the “word” down there and didn’t realize!!
These are awesome Jenny! Great ideas! I can’t wait to make them for the kids!
Okay those mummies are hands down ADORABLE! How creative.
You come up with the most cute recipes. You sure have some lucky boys (but hey they know that I bet). I love all these fall recipes that come out around this time of year so much. I can not wait until Talal is old enough for me to make fun recipes like this. Any excuse for a cook to cook is happy times in our eyes, right lol..
Jenny, these are just too cute to eat!!! I love the mummy especially. Hah. You should have a party just because of these cute little creatures.
What fun halloween treats! I love them all, and I want to try them. We love halloween at our house. I can’t believe it is already here.
What fun treats! I can’t wait to have my niece over to try these! I am sure she will love them and I will too! I am a big kid at heart:)
OMG! Soon as I clicked on your post, I had a huge smile on my face! Those treats and hotdogs are completely adorable!
My boys have to touch each and every halloween decoration, too… I would have freaked out as a kid, but they just love the stuff!
I’m a huge halloween fan, so I’m loving it all!!

Those are so cute! I love the mummies. My husband will like them as much as your kids, I bet!
