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!!
