As the autumn leaves begin to fall and Halloween draws near, it’s time for teachers and parents to whip up some spooktacular classroom Halloween treats!
Halloween is a special time for kids, and what better way to make it memorable than with delicious and creative classroom Halloween treats?
Whether you’re organizing a classroom Halloween treats party or looking for fun treats to surprise the little kids, we’ve got you covered.
Ideas for Classroom Halloween Treats:
Spooky Ghost Cookies
Use a ghost-shaped cookie cutter on rolled out butter cookie dough. Decorate with royal icing using food-grade squeeze bottles.
Spider Cookies
Decorate shortbread cookies or thumbprint cookies with chocolate drizzles, morsels, and candy eyes.
Spiderweb Chocolate Bark
Melt chocolate and spread it on a baking sheet of your desired filling like crushed crackers, pretzels or toffee. Drizzle white chocolate using a food-grade squeeze bottle to make a spiderweb effect. Let it set before breaking it into pieces.
Caramel Apples
Dip apples into caramel and add fun toppings like crushed cookies, rice krispies or granola.
Crispy Rice Mummies
Shape Rice Krispie treats into mummies or use crispy puffed rice rolls. Decorate with icing and candy eyes.
Spiderweb Donuts
Drizzle a spiderweb pattern with icing on chocolate glazed donuts for a spooky twist.
Monster Eye Cupcakes
The best cupcakes I've ever had are the vegan recipes from the Cupcake Wars champion Chloe Coscarelli. Use natural food coloring and a piping tip when frosting the cupcake. Place candy eyes on top to make them look like monsters.
Room Moms: Tips for Success with Classroom Halloween Treats
Allergy-Friendly Options: Be mindful of any allergies or dietary restrictions among the students. Offer alternatives like gluten-free, nut-free, or dairy-free classroom Halloween treats to ensure every kid can indulge safely.
Activities: Get the students involved in decorating the classroom Halloween treats, encouraging creativity.
Teachable Moments: Use the classroom Halloween treats as an opportunity to discuss Halloween traditions and cultural significance, promoting understanding for different traditions.
Preparation: Plan ahead and use Sign-Up Genius to involve volunteers if possible. Ask each family to bring one type of treat.
Aim for Balance: While indulging in sweet treats is part of the fun, try to include some healthier options too, such as fruit snacks or veggie sticks with themed dips.
