Witches Hats and Broom Sticks
My sister-in-law inspired me to do a few cute little Halloween treat crafts with my kids this year. I usually just do caramel apples and sugar cookies sometime during the season and call it good, but she was telling me about these cute little broomsticks that are so easy for kids to make….I was on board when she said Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups.
While I was at the store getting my broom stuff, I was trying to think of something that would be cute (and EASY) to make a witches hat out of. I love Grasshopper cookies so I picked some up along with a package of Hersey Kisses.
When I got home I made a little batch of green minty frosting and after putting them together and tasting one, I decided they were “Mommy treats.”
Compared with the prep of caramel apples and or sugar cookies, these were SOOOO easy, they practically made themselves, and the kids thought they were just as cool if not cooler then frosting sugar cookies! I have a couple neighborhood Halloween parties and I can tell you right now, these are what I will be taking! Did I mention they are SOOOO easy!
