Jack-O-Lantern Orange Floats for Halloween

We wanted to add a drink to go with our popular Jack O’ Lantern Fruit Cups. Our fruit cups are great Halloween treats because they are healhty. Send the kids out with something good before they come home full of sugar!

If you are hosting a party, however, these Easy Orange Jack-O-Lantern Floats are great for filling a crowd. They are really easy to make with only two ingredients – you’re welcome. Of course you can twist it up with changing your beverage to something Root Beer or even Mountain Dew as a base, but you then need to change your face. Maybe to a fun Frankenstein or goofy face.

Easy Orange Jack-O-Lantern Floats for Halloween

  • Author: Ashley at Frugal Coupon Living

Ingredients

  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Orange soda
  • Clear drinking cups
  • Permanent marker
  • Straws
  • Optional: Sliced oranges

Instructions

If you are decorating your own cups, first prep them. You can do this days before as you do not want a fresh coat of permanent marker when you are serving a cold beverage.

First, using the black permanent marker, draw jack o lantern faces on the cups. (Here are some inspiring Jack-o-Lantern Faces.)

When you are ready to serve, place two scoops of vanilla ice cream in each cup.

Pour refrigerated orange soda over the top of the ice cream until the cup is full.

Serve and enjoy!

Frugal Coupon Living’s Orange Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Bowls Recipe – Orange Pumpkin Cups made with Fruit. A healthy fall treat idea. Serve these Jack o Lantern Oranges at your next Halloween Party! 

Orange Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups

Orange Jack-O-Lantern

When it comes to holiday parties, the sugar that often loads the table is a lot. We have some amazing Halloween Food Craft Ideas, but in our most recent recipe, I wanted to provide a healthy snack option.

Have fun with this one and take a twist on the orange. Crave out a Jack O’ Lantern using an orange, hallow out and fill with fruit. It is the perfect healthy treat to a Halloween Class Party or even an afternoon snack.

Jack-O-Lantern Oranges

Just a few simple ingredients make these Jack-O-Lantern Oranges. Fruit and mixed fruit. I really love berries, but it is your choice. If you scoop out the oranges well, you can even use that to toss in your fruit salad!

You will need a sharp knife to help you cut out your face. We loved this highly rated kitchen carving knife (I have this in my home), we also used Kitchen Sheers to cut out some of the shape. If you worry about using a knife or scissors around kids, crate your adorable Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cup using a Sharpie Maker! We did this with our Orange Jack-O-Lantern Floats.

Jack-O-Lantern Fruit Cups Ingredients

  • 3 Medium Navel Oranges
  • 1 cup Mixed Fruit – Your choice, I prefer berries

Yield: 3 Jack-o-Lanterns. Multiple as needed.


Orange Jack-O-Lantern

How to Make Orange Pumpkin Fruit Cups

This recipe is not too challenging. While the recipe is great for kids, an adult needs to be present for the slicing!

Slice off the tops of the oranges.

Using a spoon, scoop out the pulp and insides of the oranges. You can place those aside for your fruit salad or toss them. They could make some fresh orange juice!

Using a knife, careful cut out faces on each orange to resemble a Jack O Lantern orange.

Fill each orange with mixed fruit and serve.

Orange Pumpkin Fruit Cups Tip: Don’t want to carve with a knife? That is okay. Use a sharpie and draw the face on the front – that works too and is safe for little hands!

Save this recipe for later. Print your recipe and add it to your recipe box or recipe binder! This is my favorite Recipe Binder – I get tired of printing the same recipe over and over. A binder keeps me organized and gives me a place to store my recipes.

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

No guilt. No gluten. Find a full list of Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes including turkey, sides, casseroles, veggies, breads and pies.

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

Gluten-free Thanksgiving Recipes

Almost 40 and I still have yet to make a Thanksgiving turkey. I can master almost any Thanksgiving side, but a large bird in my oven is so intimidating.  Thanksgiving is either a major holiday for us with close to 100 people gathered or it is very small. I have a family of seven and one year it was only four of us (granted the twins were in my belly and not on the outside)! Does this holiday sway back and forth for any other family? I think because of this, the turkey has always been covered. If we have a large gathering, the more seasoned chefs cook. If we have a very small gathering, we go out to eat.

That being said, sometimes our small gatherings lead to Friendsgiving Thanksgiving. In this situation, where there are many dietary needs, I try to accommodate everyone with my Thanksgiving recipes. This includes, being Keto-friendly and/or Gluten-free. This got me researching gluten-free Thanksgiving recipes that are tasty for all dietary restrictions!

Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies

Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies

We get so excited over the start of school and the coming of the seasons. Halloween can be so fun when turning something scary into something yummy and cute! Our Halloween Mummy Hot Dogs were a huge hit and these Halloween Jalapeño Mummies are sure to be a crowd pleaser as well.

Recipe for Halloween

For this Halloween Recipe, you will need edible eyes. We used two eyes of the same shape, but we also think it would be cute to add additional candy eyes of various sizes! Isn’t a mummy supposed to look a little wonky and beat up?

The best party of this recipe for Halloween is that the kids can get involved but when you are all through, you don’t end up with a sugar snack that will hype them up more. Instead, you get a savory bite for Halloween night! (You are supposed to say that aloud when reading. We rhymed just like Dr Seuss!)

We have other tasty Halloween recipes including this Poison Apple Dip and adorable food craft for your Halloween Tablescape. For a healthy bite, make these Fruit Cup Jack-o-Lanterns. If you don’t want to carve the face, use a sharpie marker.

Of course an apple dip, a healthy fruit bowl, savory Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies also need something sweet. A sweet treat can be found in a our endless list of Halloween recipes, 31+ Days of Kid’s Halloween Food Crafts! Which is your favorite?

Halloween Jalapeño Popper Directions and Ingredients

Don’t get intimidated. The ingredients that make up this Halloween Recipe are not too difficult and can easily be found at your local grocery store.

Mummies Jalapeño Popper Ingredients

Between the Jalepeno Pepeprs and the Pepper Jack Cheese, this recipe can have a kick! Tip, make sure your Jalapenos have all the seeds taken out!

Hosting an October gathering? This Halloween Poison Apple Dip makes the perfect party recipe. Only four simple ingredients including cream cheese and caramel. Plus learn how to make our Poison Apple Halloween Food Craft to display on your table.

Halloween Poison Apple Dip

We have an incredibly cute and easy Halloween Food Craft and plus a bonus Halloween Craft for your October Halloween tablescape. Pair this sweet recipe with our salty and tasty Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies.

Halloween Poison Apple History

The first rotten apple we know of comes from the Bible. It was never rotten but rather an attractive piece of fruit. When Adam and Eve ate the apple from the Tree of Knowledge, they were instantly aware of good and evil. Immediately the apple built a bad reputation and it becomes a fruit often selected for the symbolism of evil.

We are introduced to the Poisoned Apple in the fairy tale, Snow White. When the Evil Queen gives Snow White a poison apple to kill her, it immediately causes her fall into an eternal sleep.  In the Disney version, Snow White is saved by “true loves kiss” when a prince kisses her causing her to wake.

To carry on the tradition of this the poison apple, we put together a fun Halloween Food Craft; an incredibly easy poison apple craft and poison apple dip.

Cream Cheese & Caramel Apple Dip Ingredients

Luckily, the ingredients in this recipe contain no poison. The thought sure is fun, though, for the Holiday season. Rather this recipe is quite sweet and so good with sliced apples or graham crackers.

Poison Apple Halloween Craft Directions

Guys, I don’t have much for you. This poison apple craft is incredibly easy. You could look at the picture and instantly create the craft.

First, get two apples of similar shape and sizes. Cut each apple in half and fit them together.

Second, grab colored tables. We used blue staples but you could also use other colored staples, traditional silver staples or gold staples.  Separate individual staples.

With your apple lined up, you will press individual staples until your green and red apple holding them two halves together and forming one apple. Continue this process up the seam of the apple.

Once your apple holds nicely together, you are done.

Warning: Do not use this craft for consumption or eating. Display it on your tablescape or high up for Halloween decor but keep it away from small hands and little kids.

Edible Fake Blood Cupcakes Recipe

by Filed Under: Facebook, Halloween, Instagram, Pinterest, Recipe, Social Media 1 Comment

Making Edible Fake Blood is easier than you think – only two ingredients. Pour your bloody drizzle on our homemade cupcakes for the perfect Halloween Food Craft.

Edible Fake Blood Cupcakes

We love when the fall season hits – Halloween,Thanksgiving and Christmas. We are kicking off our Halloween ideas with our Edible Fake Blood Cupcakes Recipe. This fits perfectly with our Halloween Food Crafts for the Kids. Be sure to pair this sweet recipe with our salty and tasty Halloween Jalapeño Popper Mummies.

We supplied a homemade vanilla cupcake recipe, but you can use a box mix or you could pick up cupcakes from your local bakery. Just ask them not to ice the cupcakes. Sometimes I do that when I don’t have time for all the steps (aka baking the cupcakes) but I still want to personalize, home make cupcakes. No one ever knows (well they do, because I tell them. They find it as genius as I do!)

This cupcake recipe also goes perfectly with our trailer park murder mystery party!

  8. While your cupcakes are cooling, make the fake blood by combining the corn syrup and food coloring into a bowl and stirring until the color is consistent throughout.

When introducing food to my babies, I always introduced vegetable puree first.  My second child would beg for broccoli growing up. I recall picking her up from her crib one day after nap and she asked me for broccoli and a Popsicle. It was a staple in our home. Somewhere between child three (who is 14 months older than the twins) and child four and five (whoa that was fast), I went wrong. We went from a family of four to a family of seven in a years time. It was quick and I guess my mom award got lost in the “extra” people.

The twins, who are 19 months, and my two and a half year old struggle to eat greens. I make myself feel better by getting all the protein in their diet I can, but man – what did I do wrong? Because I lost my mojo, I had to become a trickster.  I was first introduced to hiding veggies in food with this book Deceptively Delicious: Simple Secrets to Get Your Kids Eating Good Food. I decided to accept the challenge and find additional recipes my kids would love.

Introducing tried and true Hidden Vegetable Recipes for Fussy Easters (aka picky eater kid number three, four and five.) Tell me what your “I’m not eating that” picky kids think of these recipes.
