Halloween was one of my favorite holidays growing up. It is so sad that many people don't go around the neighborhood trick or treating with their kids. I remember my mom and I doing the "mall thing" one year and afterwards she was like "never again..." it was PACKED with people and kids, impossible to get to the lady in the store passing out the candy and when you DID make it to the front all I got was a lousy Tootsie Roll or Dum Dum.
My husband and I just bought our first house this summer. So when October rolled around I was excited beyond belief for Halloween however no one else in the neighborhood seemed to be. I guess it is just a Washington thing that we don't take part in all the decorating like some other states.
Since we are in a new neighborhood I had no idea how many kids even lived in the neighborhood let alone how many would make it up to our street. But just in case I bought a costco sized bag of candy. Most of the trick or treaters came later in the even around 630 or 7.
Unfortunately, we were only able to hand out candy to 2 groups of trick or treaters before we had to go to our own festivities. They were so cute though! The second group had some little guys, maybe 5 or 6 years old, they of course were superheroes. The WSU Cougars were playing #8 Stanford and it was a big deal. So I set a bowl of candy out for the kids so they would come back to us next year.
Here are some new desserts I made for halloween. I really loved the way the cake pops turned out. Halloween colors are just so fun. I also made rice krispy treats and to spice up the design a little bit, I decided to try my luck at writing and it turned out pretty good in my opinion. Not quite as good as when I do buttercream frosting, but still legible right?
Hope all you ghosts and gobblins had a fun night! Until next year!
