Halloween is just around the corner, so here are some fun snacks to have as Halloween party favors. Check out these three simple snacks anyone can make for at-home snacking or take along to a Halloween-themed party.

Mummy Dogs

Ingredients. 1 can of refrigerated crescent roll dough (8 oz.), 2.5 slices of American cheese, 10 hot dogs, cooking spray, and candy eyes.

Instructions. Preheat oven to 375°F. Roll out the dough and separate at perforations to make 4 rectangles. Press the perforations together to seal them. Cut each rectangle into 10 lengthwise pieces, giving you a total of 40 pieces. Slice the pieces of cheese into four.

After you have finished prepping the mummy snack you can begin to wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog. 

Be sure to put the cheese in before wrapping it. Don’t forget to separate the dough towards one end so the hot dog shows, through, as this will be the mummy’s face. Once all 10 hot dogs are wrapped, lay them on an ungreased cookie sheet (cheese side down) and lightly spray them with the cooking spray. Pop the tray in the oven and bake for 13-17 minutes or until the dough is golden brown and the hot dogs are hot. 

The most important step is to add the candy eyes to the face opening. These cheesy mummy’s are sure to be a hit! 

Halloween Snack Mix

Ingredients. Candy corn, popcorn, mini marshmallows, mini pretzels, Chex cereal, Reeses Pieces. Those with peanut allergies can substitute M&Ms. Optional decorative Halloween bowl to put the snack mix in.

Instructions. Mix all the ingredients together and enjoy. Feel free to share with friends or hoard them. Either works! 

Spooky Chocolate Pretzel Rods

Ingredients. 1 bag of pretzel rods; 1 cup of milk chocolate candy melts; 1 cup of white/vanilla candy melts. 

Instructions: Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Melt the white chocolate chips and chocolate chips in separate microwave-safe bowls. Microwave them in 30-second intervals, being sure to stir them in between, and continue until the chocolate is smooth. 

Take a pretzel rod and dip it into the chocolate. Either one or both is fine. Decorate the pretzel with optional sprinkles, candy eyes, candy corn, or drizzle more chocolate on top.
