Halloween Cockroach Treats🪳👻
Ingredients (makes 12)
• 6 Medjool dates (pitted)
• Peanut butter (your favorite kind)
• Melted chocolate (dark or milk)
• Optional: Candy eyes for extra spookiness
Instructions
1. Slice each date in half lengthwise to make 12 “cockroach bodies.” Remove the pit if still inside.
2. Fill each date half with a small spoonful of peanut butter.
3. Use melted chocolate to seal the open side of each date.
4. Use a piping bag or a small zip-top bag with the tip cut off to pipe chocolate legs (2-3 on each side) and two antennas.
5. Add candy eyes before the chocolate hardens (optional)
6. Chill them in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate sets.
Halloween Strawberry Witch Broomsticks🍓🧹
Ingredients (makes 6)
• 6 fresh strawberries
• Melted chocolate (for coating)
• Melted lighter-colored chocolate (for decorating)
• 3 thin breadsticks or pretzel sticks, cut in half (to make 6 broom handles)
• 6 Cheerios-style cereal rings (for the broom base)
Instructions
1. Wash and dry the strawberries, then remove the green tops.
2. Dip each strawberry into the melted chocolate until fully coated. Let any excess drip off.
3. Place one cereal ring at the tip of each strawberry to serve as the base of the broom.
4. Insert half a breadstick or pretzel stick into the tip of each strawberry to create the broom handle.
5. Use a piping bag or a small zip-top bag to pipe vertical chocolate lines down the strawberry, making the broom bristles.
6. Add a band of lighter-colored chocolate around the top of the broom bristles to create the “waist.”
7. Chill the broomsticks in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes until the chocolate sets. | Posted on 30/Oct/2025 23:04:34
