Pretzel Bones
These are so yummy, and a fun treat for Halloween. Just follow the instrustions for my Homemade Soft Pretzels but instead of shaping into pretzel form, roll into strips & then tie each end in a knot.

So fun & yummy!!
Mummy Dogs
These are a Halloween favorite in our house! I make them every year. They are so simple & everyone loves them...and they are oh so cut too!!
Ingredients:
Crescent Rolls
Hot Dogs
Cut the crescent into strips.
Wrap the hot dogs in the crescent strips, leaving a little space for a face.
Bake according to the crescent package's instructions.
Place 2 dots of ketchup or mustard for the mummy's eyes & serve with a web of ketchup & mustard.
Happy Halloween!!
Spaghetti & Hot Dog Spiders
I have to admit, even I am surprised how cute these turned out! At first I wasn't sure how well they would be received...I have the girliest girl ever. I didn't know if she would think it was fun to make edible spiders or not?!? Let me tell you, there was no need to worry- she absolutely loved them! Looks like we'll be making them again, probably even after Halloween has long passed. Oh, and don't forget to sing the Itsy Bitsy Spider while you are making them. It is a must according to my little helper!
What you need to make these:
Hot Dogs
Spaghetti Pasta
Ketchup
Cut your hot dogs into bite size pieces. I cut my hot dogs into quarters.
Then insert 1 piece of spaghetti at a time into the center of the hot dog. I did 4 pieces of spaghetti her hot dog piece.
I know, 4 legged spiders are not anatomically correct. But that's what worked best so I went with it. Thankfully Miss Hannah didn't call me out on it.
While you (or your little helpers) are threading the hot dog pieces with the spaghetti, bring a large pot of water to boil.
Carefully drop in the raw spiders into boiling water & cook until the pasta is tender. So easy & fun!!
When the spiders are cooked, carefully drain them. I drained most of the water out of the pan & used tongs to plate the spiders.
Dot the hot dogs with ketchup for eyes!
Creepy Crawly Spiders!
Yummy!
Spider Legs!
I got an enthusiastic thumbs up for this super fun lunch!
Have Spiderific Halloween!!
Soft Pretzel Bones
These are my favorite this Halloween. Big, buttery, soft pretzel sticks with the ends tied in knots to look like bones. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce- Jalapeno Cheese, Mustard or simply enjoy them by themselves!
Follow the directions for my Homemade Soft Pretzels to make the dough for these.
Once you have cut the dough into 8 equal pieces, roll each piece into a 24" rope. Then cut in half. Tie a knot in each end & place on a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.
Continue to follow the directions for boiling in a water & baking soda solution then baking.
These are bone chilling good!
Pumpkin Shaped Tortilla Chips
When I found these adorable pumpkin shaped cookie cutters I had to get them. I've been making all kinds of pumpkin shaped things with them. I've made sandwiches & quesadillas with the large one & I made these cute pumpkin shaped chips with the small one. They were perfect at our Pumpkin Carving Party!
Using corn tortilla shells, cut out pumpkin shapes with the cookie cutter. I got 1 whole pumpkin & 2 halves per tortilla.
Follow my Homemade Tortilla Chip recipe for frying.
I served with a bowl of salsa topped with a piped spider web of sour cream on the top- everyone loved it!!
Happy Halloween!!
Witches Wands
These little treats are the perfect marriage of salty & sweet. They are incredibly easy to make & look beautiful too! They made the most adorable, edible center pieces for our Halloween party this year!
What you need to make these:
Chocolate Almond Bark
Pretzel Sticks
Halloween Sprinkles
In a small sauce pan, over the lowest heat, melt the almond bark stirring occasionally. I did 8 squares for the pretzels here. While the chocolate is melting, I laid a piece of parchment paper out on the counter. And poured the sprinkles into glasses. I would recommend putting the sprinkles in bowls though, a wider opening will make it easier to sprinkle on the the pretzels.
When the chocolate is fully melted, dip the pretzel sticks into the chocolate & let the excess drip off. If the chocolate is too thick, it will drip off into your sprinkles! Working quickly, while the chocolate is still wet, add the sprinkles. Don't dip the pretzels into the sprinkles, pinch the sprinkles in your fingers & while holding the chocolate dipped pretzel over the bowl, sprinkle them on.
We did 2 different types of sprinkles. My favorite was the sparkly colored sugar!
This is a perfect project for little helpers. The chocolate doesn't get too hot so they can easily help with dipping the pretzels or my daughter's favorite, adding the sprinkles!!
I put them in glasses filled with candy to serve. So cute & even more tasty!!
