Fun and Simple Halloween Party for Kids

Wanting to make a simple and fun Halloween Party? That is what we did the other day! Millie wanted to have a tea party with her favorite dolls so I decided to make it a girly halloween theme! It was so simple to set up. The adorable Ghost plates, napkins and cups were sent to us from Pom Pom Party shop . I had some little bats and skull rings I picked up at the Dollar Store and purple pompoms that I sprinkled around the table.

I made a fun Halloween inspired charcuterie board. I used Reese’s Pieces, powdered sugar donuts, brownie bites, bat marshmallows from Walmart (there is no Peeps this year- so finding these was fun!), and Halloween Joe Joe’s from Trader Joes. I used a tupperware lid to make the board. It helps having a lip to hold everything on. I tried to do black and white for the Halloween theme on the board and sprinkle in the colored Reese’s Pieces around to fill in the holes. So simple!

We set up her little table in the yard and had our party!! She couldn’t wait to dig into the donuts! Those are her favorite. This was a simple and fun way to brighten our week. It took no time to set up and was adorable. Her sweet Cuddle and Kind Dolls, Zoe and Chloe, had a great time too!

This is an easy party you can set up for your little one and their dolls or other friends! Having a girls Halloween party was too sweet!

S’mores…..yum. They are one of my favorites, but I never make them. We don’t have a fire pit, we live in Texas, and a hundred other reasons why. There is something about warm melted chocolate and that toasty marshmallows.

Since I love s’mores, but never seem to make an actual s’more I decided to make S’mores cookies. I tried a few recipes and made a few of my own. This is the one that tastes the best and cooks the best! Some I made were very runny or didn’t taste enough like s’mores for my liking!

These are very simple to make and they have the basic cookie and s’more’s ingredients. The cookies were fun to make and everyone seemed to enjoy them!

(Preheat oven to 375*)

First cream the butter, sugars, eggs, and vanilla in the mixer. Next slowly add flour, baking soda, salt, and graham cracker crumbs. (Side note- you can buy graham cracker crumbs at the store or make them yourself. I put them in my cuisinart to make the crumbs) Then fold in the Hershey’s bar pieces. This next step is the MOST IMPORTANT. You need to put the dough into the fridge for minimum 60 mins. If you don’t your cookies will be RUNNY. The will NOT bake properly and you will be sad.

Once they are nice and cold spoon cookies onto a baking sheet. I always use parchment paper when I bake. Makes the cookies come off easier and clean up easier too.

Bake the cookies for 7 mins then pull the cookies out and place the marshmallow on top of each cookie. Place back into the oven for 3 minutes. After that they are ready to come out! Let them cool and then they are ready to eat!
