Halloween is so fun! These are a few of my favorite Halloween goodies. All are fairly easy and are a lot of fun!

Up first is what I think is about the cutest little Halloween container ever!! A Mummy Candy Holder…how cute is this?!

Up next, more mummies….a great Halloween treat anyone will love! MUMMY DOGS!

Now for these great little gummy pumpkins.  The easiest Halloween treat I think I’ve ever seen.  And the cutest, too!

And this pumpkin cake…..oh my goodness….I fell in love with it the moment I saw it!  A true favorite!

Oh, yeah….you know this is going to be good!  Since my friend Kristie won’t give me her secret caramel corn recipe, I had to go with the next best thing…..Ms. Paul Deen!  (It’s ok, Kristie, I forgive you ; )

Caramel Corn is great to give as Halloween treats.  You can get the cute little decorative bags and tie them up with some Halloween ribbon.  Everyone is SURE to love this caramel corn!!

• 8 quarts popped popcorn

Directions:

Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Over medium heat, combine first 4 ingredients and boil for 5 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in baking soda. Stir well. Pour over 8 quarts popped corn. Stir to coat well. Bake in large roaster or pan for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Spread on waxed paper to dry

Thanks to Southern Fried Dreams, I had the perfect Halloween appetizer to take to a Game Night last night!  They were a big hit with all of us grown ups….who says fun foods have to be just for kids??!

They are very easy to make and of course, will always be a big hit with whoever you decide share them with (grown ups or kids!).

Mummy Dogs

Printable Version: Mummy Dogs

Ingredients:

1 can (8 oz) crescent rolls or 1 can (8 oz) Crescent Recipe Creations refrigerated flaky dough sheet

2 1/2 slices American cheese, quartered

10 large hot dogs
Cooking spray
Mustard or ketchup, if desired

Directions:

Heat oven to 375°F.

If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate at perforations, creating 4 rectangles. Press perforations to seal. If using dough sheet: Unroll dough; cut into 4 rectangles.

With knife or kitchen scissors (I used a pizza cutter), cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough.

Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese, cut in half).

Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog and 1/4 slice of cheese to look like “bandages,” stretching dough slightly to completely cover hot dog. About 1/2 inch from one end of each hot dog, separate “bandages” so hot dog shows through for “face.”

(I made mini-mummy’s and cut the hot dogs in half since we were having these as an appetizer)

On ungreased large cookie sheet, place wrapped hot dogs (cheese side down); spray dough lightly with cooking spray.

Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot. With mustard, draw features on “face.” (I put some mustard into a zip-loc bag, cut the corner tip off and drew the faces that way)

Thanks for having me, Brooke!  I have really enjoyed it!

I’m so thrilled to share one of my favorite Halloween treats with MakeLifeDelicious.com!

Here, now is one of those snacks that bursts with holiday color.  The sweet & savory flavor makes it all the better.

Pumpkin Spice Popcorn

3 Tbsp. Brown Sugar

1 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice

1/2 tsp. salt

3 drops red food coloring

6 drops yellow food coloring.

3 Tbsp. Olive Oil

1 c. popcorn kernels

Mix sugar, spice, and salt together.  Set aside.

Whisk food coloring into olive oil.  Pour popcorn & colored olive oil into a large pan on stove top.  Cook, covered, on Medium High heat until fully popped.  Turn off heat.  Quickly uncover and sprinkle spice mixture over popcorn.  Stir to coat over heat, then remove from heat.

Cool and eat.  Trick or Treat!

To make Pumpkin Popcorn strings, simply thread individual pieces with a needle onto basic thread.

A treat OR a trick?  Now, get poppin’!
