Is it just me or did October just seem to totally fly by? This time next week it will officially be the month of November, and we will all be getting into Thanksgiving mode. 






But before we start thinking all things turkey, and pumpkin pie, and stuffing, we still have this business of Halloween to take care of this weekend and next Monday. ;) 






Whether you are hosting a little Halloween costume party, just attending a fall get-together, or bringing a special treat for the kiddo's classroom party, you all are going to love this collection of quick and easy Halloween recipes I gathered to share with you all today.






Not only are each of these delicious recipes simple to make, but that also happen to perfectly capture the fun spirit of Halloween. And the best part? Every single one of these party perfect recipes can be made and ready to serve in 30 minutes or less! 






That means more time for those finishing touches on that costume, more time to go trick or treating, and more time to spend time with family and friends. Who wants to be stuck in the kitchen missing out on all the Halloween fun anyways? ;)

Whip up a 100% edible "graveyard" for Halloween this year with these easy to make Haunted Graveyard Rice Krispies Treats.


This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Kelloggs® Rice Krispies®. 
As always, all opinions are my own. 










I always get excited when I see the calendar flip over to October each fall because I know that means that the month of all things Halloween has finally arrived. Ever since I was a kid, Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. 






I was fortunate to have been blessed with a very crafty & creative mama who always made my sister & I the best Halloween costumes each year for trick or treat. My grandparents hosted a big family costume party each October complete with games (bobbing for apples, anyone? ;) ), costumes, haunted decor, and of course spooky dishes and treats






My parents took over hosting the Halloween costume party about 10 years ago, and I am always trying to come up with new boo-licious treats to bring to the party. This year I will be whipping up a 100% edible haunted graveyard using one of everyone's favorite classic treats- Kelloggs® Rice Krispies® treats! 






Classic Kelloggs® Rice Krispies® treats forms the base for this hauntingly tasty sweet treat. I simply topped them with chocolate frosting and chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs, and then employed my 4 1/2 year old daughter to help me go crazy making our haunted graveyard come to life (or should I say come to death?). 






We made tombstones from graham crackers, "planted" a few candy pumpkins, and liberally applied ghost-shaped sprinkles all over. I mean, what's a haunted graveyard without the ghosts, right? ;)
