Halloween can be filled with sugary treats, so I love the idea of sugar free and allergy safe Halloween treat ideas. Check out the adorable tags I designed for Halloween "Booo" bles!
It's such a great option for kids carrying teal pumpkins (i.e. kids with allergy concerns). I love a good treat that everyone can enjoy, don't you?
To download the tags I designed: right-click on the picture below, save it to your computer, and print it like a regular 4X6 photo.
Then, use some curling ribbon to attach the tags to containers of bubbles (which are often on clearance this time of year).
These Halloween bubbles are wonderful for trick-or-treaters, and they make fantastic class treats too. What are your favourite allergy safe Halloween treat options?

Do you know "The Scream" paintings by Edvard Munch? These paintings are the inspiration for these adorable screaming Halloween pretzels. Aren't they cute? They are also super-easy to make.
To make these simple treats:
1) Melt baker's chocolate according to the package directions. I melted mine in the microwave at 50% power for 1 minute, stirred the chocolate, and then melted it for another minute. I also added a little bit of vegetable (canola oil) to make the dipping a little bit easier.
2) Dip the pretzels in the melted chocolate, and lift the pretzel out of the chocolate with a fork. (This will allow the chocolate to empty out of the "mouth hole".
3) Place the chocolate dipped pretzels on a piece of wax paper, and add candy eyeballs.
4) Allow the chocolate to harden, and then remove the treats from the wax paper.
These screaming pretzels are simple to make, they are adorable, and they taste great. Do you think your kids would like these festive Halloween treats? My boys love them!

Halloween class party treats are one of the reasons kids love October 31st, and my boys really enjoy sharing unique Halloween goodies with their friends. Sometimes the treats are edible, and sometimes they aren't, but they are always easy, inexpensive and fun. Here are 15 of our favorite Halloween Class Party Treats.
1) Mummy wrapped treats - Use cheese cloth and googly eyes to transform boring treats into something spooky and special. This is one of my favorite ideas because it is versatile, simple and cute.
2) Vampire treats - Use inexpensive dollar store treats to create unforgettable vampire goodies. You can check out some sweet packaging ideas and download adorable tags (for free) here.
3) Halloween play dough kit - This adorable treat includes a package of orange Kool Aid, a pumpkin cookie cutter, and a recipe for homemade Halloween play dough. Click here to download the free printable playdough recipe gift tag.
4) Graham cracker bandaids - Cut up some graham crackers, add some white frosting for gauze, and finished with a smear of red gel icing blood. Simple, fun... and a little gross!
5) Tic Tac Toe game - Click here to download this adorable Halloween "tic tac toe" board for free. You can use candy, buttons or googly eyes for the markers.
6) Treat bags with special tags - Make traditional treat bags extra special by adding a customized tag. Click here to find out how I transformed pictures of my boys to make these tags.
7) Googly eye glasses - These googly eye glasses are fantastic alternatives to candy. You can find the full "how to" and a free downloadable bag topper here. (These toppers would work with "eyeball" candies or bouncy balls too.)
8) Cookies with candy corn or candy eyeballs - For a simple treat, make your favorite cookie recipe and add a piece of candy corn or a candy eyeball to the top. It doesn't get any easier than this! You can find the recipe for our favorite Halloween cookie here.
9) Photos with treats - For a candy free treat, try pairing pictures with little toys or pencils. You can find the full tutorial here.
10) Mazes - This little "maze" game is inexpensive and guaranteed to be a hit with little ones. You can download the "I think you are an a'MAZE'ing friend" free printable gift tag here.
11) Ghost Pops - Ghosts are always fun for Halloween, and we have two favorite ghoulish treats. To learn how to make our Oreo Ghost Pops, click here. To make the sucker ghosts: cover a sucker with a piece of tissue paper, secure with an elastic, and add a face with googly eyes and a marker.
12) Cupcakes with rings - To make these simple cupcakes, just bake mini cupcakes and insert a plastic ring (after washing, of course).
13) Wormy cupcakes - These are an annual favorite around here. Bake cupcakes, frost with chocolate icing, dip in dirt (Oreo cookie crumbs), and insert some gummy worms.
14) Cookie pops - To make super-easy cookie pops, just add some sticks to "ready to bake" cookies. Isn't everything more fun on a stick?
15) Eyeball treats - Nothing says "spooky Halloween treat" like a goodie with an eyeball (or two) on it. You can find the full instructions for an eyeball cake (here), Halloween candy bark (here), and screaming pretzels (here).

PS (These pretzel brooms are cute too! Package pretzels with a paper straws and tie them with ribbons. Pretty cute, eh?)
It's always fun for kids to have unique Halloween goodies to give to their friends, and today I am sharing a few adorable vampire-themed treat ideas. Check out these easy and inexpensive vampire teeth treats... and free printable tags.
Plastic vampire teeth are plentiful at the dollar store this time of year, and they can be used to turn a regular donut into a special vampire treat. You can package them up with a darling "A Sweet Treat to Sink your Teeth Into" tag. Cute, right?
I used Picmonkey.com to transform my son into a vampire and create some spook-tacular tags.
If you don't want to use donuts, you can just package a pair of teeth with a small "sweet treat".
These are the tags I designed using Picmonkey.
If you aren't feeling adventurous enough to create your own tags, you can use the generic tags that I designed. Just right-click on the picture below, save it to your computer, and print it like a regular 4X6 photo.
Don't you just love this simple Halloween treat idea? I think any child would be delighted to receive one of these vampire teeth treats.
