One of my favorite holidays is definitely Halloween. Over at The Melrose Family, I have a tendency to create fun snacks for kids from manufactured snacks because my daughter’s school does not allow homemade treats because of allergies. This year I created these adorable Bat Halloween Treats using minimal supplies to make the perfect goody bag gift.
For your supplies you’ll need:
Chocolate Pudding Cups, Foam Bats {I found mine at Hobby Lobby}, Googly eyes, Gold Glitter, yardstick cut into triangles for small teeth and hot glue.
In order for the bats to sit properly on the pudding cup, you’ll want to trim the feet off of the foam bats. Press the foam bat against the pudding cup so that you can see the ears from above the cup. When you press the foam against the cup it should leave a small indentation. Place hot glue across this indentation and hot glue it to the pudding cup. On the front of the cup hot glue the eyes and teeth.
It’s seriously that simple. I banged out 12 of these in a about ten minutes. I like using the pudding cups to create these because parents know exactly what they’re getting. It says right on the top of the label that these are pudding cups so if there is a concern about the ingredients, parents can make their own educated decisions.
I have a carving party planned and these will definitely be making an appearance. I’ll also be creating some of these fabulous Halloween Desserts because you can never have enough cute Halloween desserts in one place.
