Eyeball Halloween Popsicles

Pin to Pinterest

We love our 31 Days of Kid’s Halloween Food Crafts and had to share one more. How spooky are these Eyeball Halloween Popsicles? So easy and yummy made with the sweet flavors of coconut water and Sprite. Use with some of your favorite Halloween candies, freeze in molds, and enjoy these creepy treat!

Eyeball Halloween Popsicles
Yields: 8

Ingredients:

Directions:

In a pitcher, add the coconut water and Sprite. Stir to mix well.
Drop 2 to 3 gummy eyeballs into each Popsicle mold.
Pour the coconut water/sprite mixture into each mold up to the fill line.
Insert lids/Popsicle sticks into each mold and freeze overnight.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Make sure that the baking sheet can fit in your freezer.
Run warm water over the molds to loosen each Popsicle .
Release a pop from its mold and pipe the red gel at the bottom of the pop and place on the baking sheet. You don’t want the other pops to start melting while you complete this step so you will have to pipe the icing on fairly quickly.
Return the baking sheet to the freezer until ready to serve.

Enjoy!

Note: I purchased the gummy eyeballs at Walmart in the fall baking aisle. You can find a variety at most craft stores. The Popsicle mold pictured in the recipe was purchased at TJ Maxx.

Turkey Cheese Sticks – Kids Food Craft

Pin to Pinterest

We had so much fun with the Fall Ice Cream Cone Teepees and our Thanksgiving Kids Food Crafts, that we wanted to do a non “food” item for schools that do not allow food brought in from the outside that isn’t prepackaged. This is another excellent fall idea for a classroom or large group. It is so easy and the kids will love this fall food craft.

Supplies:

Directions:

Cut your orange paper into the following: 6 small diamonds for the turkey beaks, 12 small turkey legs.
Cut your red paper into the following: 6 wattles (the red thing that hangs from a turkeys chin).
Hot glue the wattle onto the backside of the cheese compartment.
Hot glue one small and one medium eye onto the back top edge above the cheese compartment.
Now fold your diamond in half and hot glue right on top of the wattle.
Then hot glue the paper legs onto the back of the cracker compartment.

Halloween Mummy Pizza

Pin to Pinterest

We have so much fun with our Halloween Food Crafts, that we had to make more! This Mummy Pizza is perfect for dinner this Halloween. It is fun for the kids and still enjoyable for mom and dad. We make this one and the Pizza Spider Webs before trick or treating.

Halloween Mummy Pizza

Yields: 8 pizzas
Prep Time: 15 minutes | Cook Time: 12-15 minutes | Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients:

1 can of biscuits (8 count)
1 14 oz. jar of pizza sauce
16 sliced black olives
8 mozzarella sticks

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Open the can of biscuits and place one onto a large baking sheet. Using your hands, press the biscuit into a flat circle. Repeat this process with the remainder of biscuits.
Spoon 2-3 Tablespoons of pizza sauce onto each flat circle of biscuit dough. Add two sliced black olives to each pizza near the top center to create mummy eyes.
Using a sharp knife, cut a mozzarella stick into long, thin slices – varying in length and size. You could also simply pull the string cheese apart for a “stringier” look. Use one mozzarella stick per pizza.
Once each mummy pizza has all toppings, place them into the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes until cheese is melted and crust is golden brown.
