Bananas
White Chocolate Melts
Semisweet Chocolate Chips
Lollipop Sticks

Peel bananas








 
 
 
Cut bananas in half and place a stick on the bottom of the banana.
Melt the white chocolate according to the directions on the package.
Once the chocolate is melted it will be very thick so take about 2 spoonfuls of coconut oil (I used 100% organic, virgin and unrefined) to thin it out. You may also use paramount crystal to thin it out.

Halloween Cake Pops

Cake pops are a bit time consuming, but if you have your kids help out, they would probably love to make them. They can decorate them as they please and then eat them right after. They can get a bit messy so make sure you cover everything.
What you need:
Wilton Chocolate Melts (different colors)
Cake Mix
Cake Pop Pan
Baking Spray
Halloween Sprinkles
Lollipop Sticks
Cookie Sheet
Cake Pop Stand
 
These are the colors I bought:





 
Directions:
Spray the cake pop pan with baking spray so they don’t stick
 
Fill the cake pop pan


 
Place pan on a cookie sheet so that if it spills, the oven won’t get dirty
Bake cake pops


 
Let them cool completely (I usually let them cool overnight)
Once they are cool, its time to decorate
Melt the chocolate (I did one color at a time)








 
 
 
 
 
Take a lollipop stick and dip the tip into one of the colors and stick it on the cake pop
 
Then cover the whole cake pop in chocolate and decorate however you’d like
 
Place them in the refrigerator so they chocolate can harden
Then their ready to eat
This is my final result:

Mummy Hot Dogs

With Halloween just right around the corner, I decided to dedicate this whole month to Halloween snacks and desserts. You can make these snacks yourself or with the help of your kids. Adults and kids will devour these. Hope you enjoy these. 

What you need:
Pillsbury Crescent Rolls
Oscar Mayer Wieners
Ketchup
Mustard

Directions:
First, roll out the crescent rolls and cut thin strips long ways. 



Then take the wieners and wrap the strips around to make them look like a mummy. Once they are all wrapped, I place them in the oven for a couple minutes. Finally, I take some mustard and add eyes to each mummy. Lastly, I put some ketchup in a bowl and then take some mustard and made it look like a spider web.

Casino Themed Cupcakes

Casino Themed Cupcakes

What you’ll need:
  • Cake Mix (I used 2 different flavors, Chocolate and Red Velvet)
  • Pastry Pride Whipped Topping
  • Wilton Chocolate Melts in black and red
  • Chocolate Mold
  • Cupcake liners (I used red and black)
Directions:
A couple days before baking everything I made the chocolates to go on top of each cupcake. I melted the chocolates according to the directions on the packaging and added it to the mold. Once the chocolates were in the pan I placed the pan in the refrigerator so they could harden.
 
Next, I baked all the cupcakes the chocolate with the black liners and red velvet with the red liners and let them cool.
Once they were cool, I took some white whipped topping and decorated each cupcake. When they were all decorated I topped each cupcake with a candy. I placed the red candy with the red liners and the black candy with the black liners.
