No Tricks - Just Treats

I'm so far behind on my blogging that I figured I'd just start where I am and back track from there. It's a plan I'm feeling good about. Life hit hard in September when I started work as an at-home secretary for a local water company. Between work, family and my stake calling, my blog was just muscled out of the way, but now I've got some time to give it some love. As you all know, my "mostest favoritest" holiday-time is here...HALLOWEEN! That means theme treats for FHE!! Hooray!!! I found the cutest idea for Monster Cups on one of my favorite blogs and instantly decided that I MUST make them. Of course there had to be a snag...I have a non pudding eater in my house. How does that happen? Who doesn't like pudding? Well, Grant doesn't apparently. It makes him gag. Whatever! I did, however, find the perfect replacement...Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream!!! And honestly, mint chocolate chip ice cream and crushed Oreos are a match made in calorie heaven. Sooooo good!

The green monster face suffered a bit because there was no way I was giving my little children an entire cup full of ice cream just for the sake of aesthetics, but I thought the effect was still adorable. Certainly my monster cup eaters were happy!

You are a super star! I was watching and waiting for your fun Halloween craftiness to make an appearance. I have been inspired!

So I totally took your idea since my kids don't like pudding either and we had this for FHE last night! Thanks for the idea the kids loved it.

Mel's Kitchen Cafe is one of my favorites, too! It's fun to think that we might be trying some of the same recipes...
