I wanted to try out a popcorn-ball maker I got at a thrift store, but I realized I needed some clear treat-bags to put them in, which meant I had an excuse to go out and look at Halloween stuff again. I just discovered the Dollar Tree store, and it was filled with all sorts of goodies for a mere buck apiece. I just couldn't pass up this cookie jack-o-lantern on a stick:
The little ghosts light up and change colors. I did not get those at The Dollar Tree.
Here are a couple of marshmallow pops and hard candy skeleton heads on non-edible bodies:
I actually did get around to making popcorn balls, and the shaper worked great.
The monster-hand treat bags were my favorite, but the opening wasn't big enough:
Wow, I was just thinking about what I was going to do for treats this year. Are there any primal treats that will not get your house egged?
ReplyDeleteHow about your egg squares, ha-ha!
ReplyDeleteSeriously now...I'm sure the stuff I bought tastes like crap, but I'm not planning to eat it, just look at it!
The past couple of years I bought bags of Dove dark chocolates; squares wrapped in purple foil, a few bucks for a bag. Not totally primal, but, hey, it's Halloween. Then again, they also sell little snack bags of smoked almonds. I bet the parents would sneak those out of the bags before the kids even see them.
Yeah, then at least it would be easier to clean up than raw eggs! :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that is as close as I have been able to come to Primal Halloween treats...nuts and chocolate. You are right, not so bad!
