Halloween is just around the corner, and if you’re planning on throwing a Halloween party, I have a couple suggestions for Halloween decorations and treats that you may like.
I’ve been meaning to post these ideas, along with photos, since my son’s sixth birthday party over a week and a half ago but things have been extremely hectic around here, and I haven’t had the chance. Until today. As you can see from the photos below, my son had a Halloween-themed birthday party. We didn’t have a lot of money to spend on decorations and treats, so we went to Dollar Tree and bought what we could.
I also went on Pinterest and found some super cute and tasty treats to make that wouldn’t cost us a fortune.
Even though we didn’t buy expensive decorations or make expensive treats, my son still had a blast, as did all the other kids, and he made memories that he will remember for a long time. And that makes me ecstatic. I wanted my son to have a fun-filled birthday, and with the help of my boyfriend, we were able to give him that. (Thank you, Chris.)
The first thing that my boyfriend and I made was Bug Ice. We already had ice cube trays, so we only had to buy bugs. We bought two packages at Dollar Tree for $2.
The next thing we made was ghost cupcakes. The cupcake mix and frosting was bought at Market Basket. The cupcake papers and little ghosts were bought at Dollar Tree. I also bought colored Halloween sprinkles and Candy Corn and Candy Pumpkins to decorate the cupcakes…but the kids ended up eating the candy separately.
Next we made Witch Hats. These were incredibly simple to make but were a huge hit with the kids and parents. All you need to do is buy fudge striped cookies, orange icing and Hershey Kisses. You flip the cookies over, squeeze out some orange icing and add a Hershey Kiss to the top. As you can see, they do look like cute, little witch hats.
And what else does a witch need besides her trust hat? A BROOMSTICK! So we made Witch’s Broomsticks. These were also EXTREMELY easy to make. All you need is Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups and pretzel sticks. Then you stick the pretzel in unwrapped Reese’s. Voila!! (If you like salty and sweet foods mixed together, this is a fantastic option!)

Frequently I would not read write-up for websites, however i desire to point out that this write-up quite required my family to think about and also do so! Your current composing flavor is shocked me personally. Thanks, very wonderful write-up.
