Halloween is just the best when you have kids.
We live in a neighborhood FULL of kids. They band together in groups, usually trailed by a gaggle of Ddads holding a cozy beverage or two. Kids in wagons. Kids on foot. Kids on golf carts. You name it, kids are everywhere.
Our house is a revolving door of kids throughout the night. They come in to go to the bathroom, to get some warm cider, to borrow some gloves, to grab a snack.
We came up with these salty sweet treats to set out for snacks this year. I'll also put out some grapes and cheese/crackers, but our "sweets" are these adorable screaming pretzels. They couldn't be easier and are perfect for little hands to help with. The less perfect they are, the better. And with only three ingredients, these are guaranteed not to scare you away!
