I'm a lover of all holidays and I'm always talking about how much I live for traditions. To this day I remember traditions from my childhood and I just love creating new ones with my kids. I hope they carry some of them on with their families. One of our greatest traditions is making treats and enjoying them during a movie night. Especially this time of year we love camping out in front of the tv and enjoying food and family.
A "charcuterie" board always make food that much more fun so I've been having fun creating different Halloween boards. My first Halloween Treat Board consisted of mandarin pumpkins, candy corn & pumpkins, Halloween Oreo's, Moose Track Ice Cream, and Spooky Spider Popcorn.
Making the popcorn couldn't be any easier. You can pop popcorn or you can do what I did and just buy Skinny Pop and then melt orange chocolate and drizzle on top. I added Halloween sprinkles and set in the fridge for an hour. In the meantime I made the spider plate for the popcorn which consists of cutting black pipe cleaners to the desired length and hot glueing to the bottom of a black paper plate. Then 3/4 of the way down the pipe cleaner you bend at a 45 degree angle. Lastly, hot glue googly eyes to the top of the plate.
To make the mandarin pumpkins you peel a mandarin and then slice a very small piece of celery and insert in the top. Plain ice cream isn't nearly as fun as ice cream with sprinkles so sprinkles were added to the top. I put it all together on a board and let the fun begin!
