While I may have outgrown trick or treating, I still love to celebrate Halloween. This weekend, I’m hosting a costume party for friends. I thought it would be fun to serve some Halloween-themed party treats for everyone to enjoy.<\/p>\n

“This tried and true recipe for jam-filled Yo-Yo Cookies has been loved in my family since the 1950s,” shares Maureen Haddock<\/a>. “I have learned that dressing up a family favourite recipe is better than creating a seasonal masterpiece that contains too much artificial colour and flavour.”<\/p>\n

Maureen’s Yo-Yo Cookies Reshaped For Halloween<\/a> are wonderful. It’s a very simple sugar cookie with a hint of honey.<\/p>\n

For the filling, I opted to add my favorite raspberry preserves. But you can get creative and use the family likes – frosting, peanut butter, hazelnut spread… the list is endless.<\/p>\n

Another adorable cookie is Teresa Jacobson’s<\/a> (New Orleans, LA<\/a>) Spooky Eyeball Cookies<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“I created this recipe as a spooky treat for my nephews last year,” explains Teresa. “It creeped them out but not enough to stop them from eating them all!”<\/p>\n

Now, these spooky eyeball cookies are fun and guaranteed to put everyone in the Halloween spirit!<\/p>\n

The cookie is soft and reminds me of shortbread. A dab of icing adds a touch of sweetness. Kids would have fun helping to decorate these cookies.<\/p>\n

Sue Adame<\/a> (McMinnville, OR<\/a>) serves her Cracker Jacks Gone Wild<\/a> on movie nights. But since it’s filled with candy and caramel-coated popcorn, I think it’s great for Halloween too.<\/p>\n

Caramel popcorn is tossed with chocolate M&M’s and tart dried cranberries for the ultimate flavor contrast. I love cashews for the nut of choice but easily swap your favorite. Perfectly salty and sweet, this is addicting.<\/p>\n

Kelly Wittman’s<\/a> (Avon Lake, OH<\/a>) Trick or Treat Trail Mix<\/a> is a great snack mix for Halloween, or anytime really.<\/p>\n

“I only make it once a year in October to keep it special,” says Kelly. “Everybody who tries it always asks for the recipe.”<\/p>\n

One bite and I was hooked. The coating on the peanuts is similar to caramel corn coating.<\/p>\n

Candy corn and fall-colored M&M’s make this festive and even yummier. The peanuts and peanut butter Ritz bits make this a little different than other snack mix recipes. <\/p>\n

As a favor, I’m making Colleen Sowa’s<\/a> (La Crosse, WI<\/a>) Witch’s Hands<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“We have been making these since I was a girl,” reveals Colleen. “My mother used to go all out for every holiday.”<\/p>\n

This is a cute and creepy Halloween party favor. They are very easy to make too. <\/p>\n

Candy corn act as the nail and you can fill the gloves with your favorite popcorn or chips. I loved popcorn, but Colleen also suggests Cheetos or cheese balls that would be delish too.<\/p>\n

Whether you are heading to or hosting a Halloween party or just want to snack on something while handing candy to kids, these Halloween-themed party treats are festive and delicious. Happy Halloween and Happy Pinching!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
