OOPS! I FORGOT IT WAS HALLOWEEN IDEAS!

Did HALLOWEEN sneak up on you?
 Did you decide you were not giving out treats this year, but now you feel guilty?
Well, here a few ideas....
APPLES...I know people frown upon this, but if the kids are your neighbors, they should trust you, right? DIP THEM IN CARAMEL!  THEY WILL LOVE IT.
SPARE CHANGE....Grab your change jar, pull out all of the quarters and dimes and toss it into their bags!
SEARCH THOSE CUPBOARDS...microwave popcorn packets, wrapped granola bars, fruit rollups, snack bags of chips, cookies & pretzels, juice boxes...GIVE THEM A CHOICE!
YOU COULD MAKE POPCORN BALLS!!! 
The kids would love these!
Look at all of the yummy treats rolled into POPCORN!!
HALFTIME CARAMEL POPCORN BALLS

INGREDIENTS

bag (3 oz) light butter microwave popcorn
cups Golden Grahams® cereal
1 1/2 
cups small pretzel twists
3/4 
cup candy-coated chocolate pieces
1/3 
cup butter or margarine
3/4 
cup packed brown sugar
1/3 
cup light corn syrup

DIRECTIONS

  • Cut 24x12-inch sheet of waxed paper; place on work surface. Pop popcorn as directed on bag. Pour popcorn into at least 8-quart bowl or large roasting pan; remove any unpopped kernels. Stir in cereal, pretzels and chocolate pieces.
  • In 1-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar and corn syrup. Heat to boiling, stirring constantly. Boil 1 minute. Pour brown sugar mixture evenly over popcorn mixture, stirring to coat well.
  • Spray hands with cooking spray. With sprayed hands, quickly and firmly shape generous 1 cup popcorn mixture into ball. Place on waxed paper. Repeat with remaining mixture to make about 9 more balls. Cool 10 minutes. Wrap each popcorn ball in plastic wrap.
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!
