Monster Munch

The other day I mentioned that I had a few items still on my October "to do" list....I spent sometime this morning working on that list.  Yes...for those of you wondering I was able to get Jacob a costume.  Good thing he is pretty easy when it comes to what he will wear.  Last year was the first time I let him get something "scary"....sure he was a mini vampire when he was 4 and a zombie when he was 6.....but he was still cute.  Last year however he had the whole scary thing going on....mask, the shirt that was looking like a cracked open chest...you know all the goodness of Halloween that makes this Momma go....UGH!  But....I have boys and this is what boys do. 

So down the costume aisle of Walmart I went....believe me I so wanted to get the cowboy costume or the adorable Woody....but no...I grabbed the creepy zombie thing that he had picked out.  As I was putting it in the cart....I just told myself....It is only one night....let it go.

Besides the costumes I found myself faced with a bazillion bags of Halloween candy.  As I was trying to decide what types to gather I had a second thought.....I should just make a sweet treat that I know the boys will love.  I grabbed a bag of candy corn and a few other goodies that I know will make them smile.

When you make this feel free to add anything and everything that love.  In mine we have candy corn, Fall colored M&M's, Reese's Pieces, pretzels, peanuts and Oreo cookies.  It would be equally delish with corn Chex....which I may have added if I would have thought about it at the store.
