As much as I LOVE Halloween cocktails, Halloween party food is definitely my favorite thing about the month of October! It’s always fun to try new tasty snacks and to see all the spooky Halloween treats that people are making. However, if you are like me, and are tired of pretzel broomsticks, Halloween cookies, and hot dog mummies, then keep reading today’s post because I have two fun Halloween snacks for you!

BEST HALLOWEEN SNACKS:

No matter what your Halloween spirit is (gross and scary or cute and sweet) today I am sharing easy Halloween snack recipes that everyone will love!

The easy Halloween treats that I am sharing are Rice Krispie Treat Poop and Monster Pretzels! Both treats are easy to make and don’t require a ton of ingredients. Plus, these easy Halloween snacks are great for both kids and adults!

MONSTER PRETZELS:

If your Halloween style is more on the cutest side and you love salty treats, then these Monster Pretzels are for you!

These Monster Pretzels are the perfect snack for the whole family! They can be customized in a variety of ways and can be made on Halloween night if you don’t have more time to prepare.

However, if you do have more time to prepare, I included some FREE Monster Pretzel tags! These tags can be used if you want to give these fun treats away as party favors or as gifts to your friends, family, or neighbors.

INGREDIENTS:

12-20 mini twist pretzels
1 oz green chocolate candy melts
1 oz orange chocolate candy melts
1 oz blue chocolate candy melts
Various sizes of candy eyes (or candy eyeballs)
Small bowls (for each chocolate candy melt)

HOW TO MAKE MONSTER PRETZELS:

In a medium microwave-safe bowl, melt the milk chocolate wafers in the microwave at 15 second intervals, stirring in between until the chocolate is completely smooth.

Repeat this with your chocolate candy melts.

Dip the pretzel into the chocolate, coating the whole thing.

Place the treats on a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

Immediately add various sizes of candy eyes to the pretzels.

Place the pretzels in the fridge and allow the chocolate to harden completely before serving.

Once your chocolate has hardened, you are ready to share, gift, or eat them! Also, don’t forget, if you are gifting these monster pretzels make sure you label them with our monster gift tags!

RICE KRISPIE TREAT POOP:

Ok, Rice Krispie Treat Monsters, it’s time to move over! Yep, you read that right! If your Halloween style is more on the scary and gross side, then you will love these Rice Krispie Treat Poop snacks!

I made these for a Halloween party and was so giddy about it (see video below) that I wanted to share the recipe and the hilarity – your kids will LOVE to help you make these and LOVE to help you eat them even more! Seriously. They are a delicious Halloween snack. I almost didn’t have enough to take these photos because I kept eating them. Soooooooo good.

Also, if you are looking for more gross Halloween snack ideas to go with your Rice Krispie Treat Poop, then don’t miss the recipe roundup at the bottom of this post!

INGREDIENTS:

6 cups Rice Krispies cereal
3T butter
1 pkg (10oz) mini marshmallows
1 pkg (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips
2T shortening (I use Crisco Baking Sticks because they are easy to measure out)
OPTIONAL: candy corn – if you want to get REAL gross

HOW TO MAKE RICE KRISPIE TREAT POOP:

Make a batch of Rice Krispie Treats – do NOT press them in to a pan.

While Rice Krispie Treats are still warm divide them in to 3-4 sections and roll them out in to oblong “tubes”. Or…ummm…poop. There are several ways to do this – you can press the treats on to a piece of wax paper then roll and lengthen the “tube”, or you can roll it between your hands. Like we used to do with playdoh back in the day!

Shape the tubes in to whatever “poops” your little heart desires and let cool. I made piles and individual pieces. Aannnnnnddd…this is officially the weirdest blog post I’ve ever written. 🙂

Put chocolate chips and shortening in a glass bowl. Microwave in 30 second increments, stirring each time, until just melted.

Dip each “poop” in to the chocolate until covered. I used a slotted spatula to lower the pieces in to the chocolate and then spooned the chocolate on top until covered.

Set on wax paper and refrigerate to set.

If you want to get really gross – while the “poop” is still warm use a knife to cut off the yellow sections of the candy corn and press in to the chocolate. Get it? Its corn. In poop. I can’t make this stuff up!
