1. Homemade Cheese Popcorn
Making cheddar cheese popcorn is super easy to do and it only requires 5 ingredients. You can find the cheese powder in the snack aisle at Walmart or on Amazon. It’s so good, and makes enough to feed a crowd the whole weekend!
2. Halloween Trail Mix
Here’s our no-cook recipe that is super Halloween-festive. Reese’s Pieces, cheddar pretzels, popcorn and candy pumpkins, plus the classically scorned candy corn (bless their hearts) and Bugles marry beautifully, and the Chex cereal pulls it all together.
3. Halloween Sugar Cookie Bars
Homemade but no tricks here, these bars have a chewy and soft sugar cookie base with a pourable sour-cream frosting that is colored with orange food gel and a fun Halloween sprinkle mix.
4. Frankenstein Crispy Rice Treats
Halloween brings out the kid in all of us, and it’s the perfect excuse to indulge in both green icing and Rice Krispy Squares. Another example of easy-does-it, they are fun to make with the whole fam.
