Delicious DIY Desserts

These Halloween Pumpkin Treats are a Fun Baking Family Activity

Making these Halloween pumpkin treats is a fun way to get the family together on a Sunday afternoon.

With the costume holiday fast approaching, your kids are probably asked to bring treats to share with the class. While you could easily go to the store and buy a pack of ghost cookies, this treat is healthier and gives you extra time to hang out with your kids and teach them how to bake.

This dessert is easy enough for kids to play a big part in the creation as the instructions are clear and concise. All you need are marshmallows and rice cereal for the plump pumpkins, orange food coloring, little chocolates for the pumpkin stems and butter to create a fun day and a yummy treat for Halloween.
