Good Eats Monday - Moms' Tricks for Treats


Moms are often the most innovative and creative when it comes to kids' stuff (maybe with the exception of this mom). I mostly rely on other moms.

I am almost always amazed by the crafts, the treats and snacks found online and family magazines. 
Here are a few ideas I found online...fun and festive.

32        Hershey's® Kisses® brand milk chocolates, unwrapped
1          package (11 1/2 ounces) fudge-striped shortbread cookies (32)
1          tube (4.25 ounces) orange decorating icing

- Attach 1 chocolate candy to chocolate bottom of each cookie, using decorating icing.
- Pipe decorating icing around base of milk chocolate candy.

1 piece black string licorice (16 inch), cut into 1-inch lengths
1 OREO CAKESTERS Soft Snack Cakes (I think this will work with regular OREO cookies also)
Red decorating gel

- Insert 4 licorice pieces into opposite sides of each snack cake for the spider's legs.
- Use red decorating gel to make the eyes.

Boo-Tiful- Pudding Cups

3 cups  cold milk
3 or 4 drops of Red & Yellow food coloring
1 tub (8 oz.) COOL WHIP Whipped Topping, thawed, divided
16 miniature semi-sweet chocolate chips

- Beat pudding mixes and milk and food coloring drops in large bowl with whisk 2 min. Stir in half of the COOL WHIP.
- Divide the Pudding 8 plastic cups.
- Drop remaining COOL WHIP by spoonfuls onto desserts to resemble ghosts. Add chocolate chips for the eyes.
