Easy Halloween Treats: Little Monsters!

While we all pretend that Halloween is mainly for the kids, but come on – we adults love dressing up too and eating fancy Halloween snacks. This recipe was inspired by Kelly’s little Frankenstein marshmallows and it’s pretty awesome! It’s a great way to keep the kids (big and small) busy this weekend. You can even do a weird little puppet show with them all and give them different personalities… before you munch them!

Character ideas:

• angry monster
• shy monster
• happy monster
• grumpy monster
• sad monster
• naughty monster

You can use this concept but with different colours and create little pumpkin marshmallows (orange), little minion marshmallows (yellow) and so on and so forth! These easy Halloween treats are so much fun to make!
