It’s Halloween week! WOOHOO! The outside of our house looks like a graveyard and we are planning a party on Saturday–we just love this time of year. Ricky goes a bit crazy with seasonal decor…we don’t really need buried bones and creepy spiders all over, but it’s fun. You should see Christmas!
Every year, the girls have a big Harvest Party at school where they have a costume parade and everything. I love to bring treats to school, but with food allergy restrictions everything has to be store bought. This fun foodie craft is super simple and can be a huge party hit–plus peanut free!
When it comes to mix-ins, you can’t really go wrong. Pick up at least 5 different options! We used marshmallows, gummy worms, coconut chips, chocolate chips, fruit and for fun hair, Reddi Whip and licorice strings. For brownie bites, grab some Snack Pack pudding bars, cut into cubes! This can be great for any holiday. Â Remember: if it’s for an allergy-free classroom activity to watch the ingredients in the mix-ins!
Instead of painting, we just used fun colored tape. This makes the project quick, budget friendly and almost mess-free. Since the Snack Pack pudding cups have as much calcium as a glass of milk, these are a snack craft I don’t feel to guilty about. Plus, what’s a little sugar? Halloween only comes once a year!
Crazy Monster Pudding Mix-Ins
What You Need:
- Washi Tape: I love the Scotch variety!
- Glue-On Googly eyes
- Permanent marker for mouth
- Snack Pack pudding cups, whatever flavors you like!
- There are SO many options, have a fun variety if you’re making this craft at a party
- Tasty Mix-Ins
- Ideas: strawberries, mini chocolate chips, cookie crumbles, shredded coconut, sliced bananas, Reddi Whip, marshmallows, gummy worms, licorice strings…let your imagination go wild!
- Decorate the Snack Pack with three strips of tape, covering only the front of the pudding cup to make the “face”.
- Using glue, add eye(s) and lay flat 15-20 minutes until dry.
- Add goofy smile!
- When ready to fill with mix-ins, create a station with bowls and spoons. Go crazy!
- Enjoy your spooky-fun treat! HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
What are your Halloween plans? Do you have any fun DIY foodie crafts to share?
Those look delicious! I love snack cups.
I do too! The sugar free ones aren’t too bad for you either!
This is such a cute Halloween snack idea. I love that the kids can help decorate them and they’re so much healthier than a lot of the traditional Halloween snacks.
Thank you! It was such a quick and easy project. The only hard part was waiting for the eyes to dry! I keep forgetting to buy the adhesive ones.
These turned out so cute! Awesome job, mama! Also? I love those Meijer sour gummy worms too!!!
Thank you! I had to hide the gummy worms so I don’t see them in the cabinet. They are so addicting!
I love this idea for school parties. My kids are some of those allergy kids so we definitely appreciate the pre-packaged foods! Very cute. #client
Thank you so much! I’m hoping the kiddos will enjoy at our classroom parties!
These look so cute and I love that you can do this with the pudding cups as that makes it even easier. With some school parties coming up soon, this is a great project I can do to make the snack a memorable one!
I’m so excited to share these with my twins’ classrooms–I think the kids are going to LOVE it! The only problem is that they want to keep the cups after.
How fun is that!!!! Kids love Halloween and I can tell you make it extra special.
I wanted to go back to my old neighborhood, but I think it will bring too many memories. So, heading out with my friend and her kids in our new neighborhood.
We don’t have many trick or treaters, but the girls like to walk around for a block or two. It’s always cold and rainy! I hope you guys have fun!
great post! your pictures are awesome!!! using colored tape to decorate the snack cups was a brilliant idea – how creative!
Thank you!! We had a lot of fun with this one. Now I’m thinking of ideas for Christmas!
Great idea! Have you heard this Googley Eyes song? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wjFJCZCHzNY
