Quick Tips

Monster Mix

Use your neighborhood grocer's party, snack mix. Add some sweet candy corn to mix the different flavors.

Cupcakes

For a quick and easy treat, decorate store bought cupcakes with sprinkles. If you want to get really creative, top your regular fixed cupcake with a mini cupcake.

Halloween Candy Cake

Decorate the side of a homemade or store-bought cake with Halloween candies. Top with Halloween decorations such as small pumpkins for a frightfully festive appearance.

Pumpkin Tub

Instead of using a traditional cooler, make a pumpkin tup to hold all your bottled or canned beverages. Empty the seeds from the pumpkin. Then, add your ice and drinks.
