Halloween Treats!- Gifting Goodies

October 28, 2011

I will use any excuse to throw a party and celebrate with friends…
The same goes with gifting goodies!
Sophia and I had some fun baking and crafting and
I put together some goodie boxes to ship off to some far away family.
(stop reading this post if you are family!!..at least till saturday night!!! ;)

You could also use this same idea for your neighbors!
Ring the doorbell..leave the treat..and RUN! 
BOO your neighbors with some sweet treats.

A follower of mine, who blogs over at Our Daily Obsessions
made up some of her own using it…super cute.

We filled our containers with yummy treats!
Oatmeal Butterscotch Chocolate Chip Cookies..Will share the recipe soon. 
(A friend made these one night for bible study..they are amazing.)
Used our Tried and True Sugar Cookie Recipe..sprinkled with candy corn confetti.
Bought this pumpkin cookie cutter at Giant Eagle for like 60 cents or something like that.
Not sure if they reallyyyyy look like pumpkins. but hey..they are yummy!
And this was a quick project..no icing or fancy-ness.
The itsy bitsy spider treats were so fun to make!
Tutorial posted yesterday here.
The milano ghosts are just milanos…dipped in melted white chocolate..with sprinkles for eyes. or you could use chocolate chips. I ran out. I tested one of these..DELISH.
I am selling these fun treat bag tags in my etsy shop..
(or you could make up some of your own!)
Order by Saturday evening and I’ll be doing rush orders that night so you can have them by sunday morning to put together..GIFT MONDAY! ta da.
All you do is print, fold, staple to snack size ziploc bag full of goodies!
I love the classic peeps..Plus they were on sale. :)

The containers fit perfectlyyyy into the boxes. Put a fun card on top.. 
Then covered with an orange napkin and a little drawing from sophia!
She LOVED coloring all these pages for her goodie boxes!

Hope you are feeling inspired and
put together something fun for your neighbors/classmates!
Have a fun weekend with your kiddos making up something special to gift.
I love making these memories with my girls..
even though sienna just ate the pretzel sticks the whole time… :)
