Create Halloween Party Treats in Minutes
With Creative Goodies and Fun Favors-Wilton Makes Spooky Simple
After the decorations are up and the costumes are ready, don't spend hours in the kitchen creating ghoulish desserts. With help from Wilton, you can make party treats in minutes that will make party goers SCREAM for more!
"Don't be late to a Halloween get-together because you're stuck in the kitchen making devilish delicacies," states Nancy Siler, consumer affairs director of Wilton Enterprises. "With a few fun ideas, it can be simple to make festive goodies that will make you a howling success at the party."
Going Batty for Fudge
Your treats will "fly" off the table when you bring Batty Fudge to a Halloween party. Made by simply combining Candy Melts® and sweetened condensed milk, this decadent treat is the perfect finger food when shaped with a bat cookie cutter. These bat bites -- with the rich taste of chocolate -- can be whipped up in minutes and provide a delicious alternative to brownies or cookies.
Simple Shapes
Had enough Halloween candy for one day? Jack-O-Lantern Sandwiches will be a perfect addition to any food table. Shape a simple ham or turkey sandwich with a pumpkin cookie cutter. Create a festive Jack-O-Lantern design with a Pumpkin Stencil-A-Cookie™ and a little Color Mist™ Food Spray.
Graveyard Goodies
Everyone loves the convenience and ease of rice cereal treats. By adding leaf green icing color and your favorite Halloween sprinkle mix, Wilton has given these favorites a macabre makeover to create Gooey Graves. Create candy ghosts with Candy Melts® and tombstones with chocolate-covered graham cracker cookies and lollipop sticks.
Homemade Candy Creations
The party host can put away the candy dish - because this Halloween you're bringing Wilton's Frightfully Fun Pumpkin Candy Box made with Candy Melts® and pumpkin candy box kit. It is effortless and fun to fill the edible candy box with mini ghosts and pumpkins.
The Friendly Ghost
If you're celebrating a Halloween birthday or simply want to eat cake, why not bring a Glamour Ghost Cake to the party. No one will be "spooked" by this friendly snack. Made in the spooky ghost pan, this spatula-iced cake can be decorated in no time. Give the cake pizzazz by sprinkling with white cake sparkles and spice drops for added detail.
Halloween Party Favors That Will Go Over with a Bang… and a Boo!
- Create tiny cornucopia bouquets filled with chocolate candies for your guests
- Put a rice cereal treat or mini candy bars in the center of a white paper towel. Wrap the towel around the goodies and fasten together with a rubber band. Put eyes and mouth on your homemade ghosts for added detail. Leave the favors around the room to double as decorations!
- Buy blue award ribbons from a local party favor store for your guests and honor them for best, scariest, most creative, best couple's costumes, etc.
- Place an assortment of Jack-O-Lantern cookie pops in a plastic or real pumpkin. Set it by the door, and your guests can take one as they leave.
