Hi, CMBC members! Spooky season is upon us, and Halloween is right around the corner! To celebrate, let's cook up some creepy creations! You can share these with your classmates during your Halloween party or make these snacks for an after-school treat. Ask a parent or guardian to help, and make sure you wash your hands and wear gloves when preparing food. Let's get started!
Carole Marsh's "Sort Of" Spooky Trail Mix
What You'll Need:
Mini pretzels
Nuts
Candy corn
M&Ms
Sesame sticks
Wrapped chocolate eyeballs or gummy eyeballs
Glass jar
Ribbon
Directions:
Instead of mixing the ingredients together, layer each ingredient in a glass jar and give it as a gift to someone. After putting the lid on the jar, tie a ribbon around it with a tag attached that has a clever name like “Max’s Monster Trail Mix” or “Sara‘s Slimy Trail Mix.”
Popcorn Hands

Popcorn
Powder-free gloves
Candy corn
Ribbon

Lollipops
Facial tissue
Clear tape
Black marker
