October Food Activities Fest

If you are looking for some quick food activities for your class this October here are a few...

"Indian Corn" & Nutter Butter GhostsFor the Indian Corn you use Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies, spread icing on the cookie, stick Reese's Piece's OR the new Fall Color M&M's to make the corn kernels and then add pretzel sticks (with icing) to make the "silk" at the top.

For the Nutter Butter Ghosts you melt white chocolate in the microwave and dip the cookies into the melted white chocolate (or you can just give the kids icing to spread on the cookies) and then add 2 regular chocolate chips for eyes.

Candy Corn Wreath Cookies
For the candy corn wreath cookies you use a ring butter cookie, spread white icing on the cookie and then add the candy corn. Thanks to Ms. B for the idea!!

Ghost Glass of MilkFor the ghost glass you simply use chocolate syrup to make eyes and a mouth on a plastic clear cup. Chill the cup for at least 10 minutes and then pour milk into the cup.

Orange Jack O'Lanterns from Martha Stewart website This picture is from the Martha Stewart site. You can click here for the directions. I have also in the past let the children just draw faces on the oranges and then I used a citrus peeler to remove the rind where they drew eyes, a nose and mouth. It's a lot easier - because then they can just eat the orange when you are done. But Martha's idea is super cute too!


Witches Hat from Martha Stewart website This picture is from the Martha Stewart site. You can click here for the directions. Isn't it so cute!
