Scary Easy Halloween Donuts

When I was a kid, my brother and I would spend every other weekend and a day or two a week at my mom’s house after my parents got divorced. She lived about an hour from my dad’s house, but she worked in our school system so we’d wake up early and brave NJ Parkway traffic to get to school on time Monday morning.

Waking up totally blew –  but it was sometimes worth it because every morning we’d stop at Quick Chek on the way and get breakfast. My mom let us pick whatever we’d want. Sometimes I’d pick something reasonable – an egg sandwich, a buttered roll – but sometimes I went a little rogue and got something decidedly not reasonable. My favorite was chocolate milkshakes from that cool machine that blends up the frozen cups (anyone know what I’m talking about? Those F’real things?) but sometimes I would turn to those lovely pre-packaged treats. My favorite was Tasty Kakes – if you’re not in the distribution area of a good ol’ Tasty Kake, I am sad for you – but mostly, I loved those little packs of mini chocolate frosted donuts that came in a pack of 3 or 4.

Halloween Mummy Snacks: Mummy Chicken Nuggets and Pizza Rolls

These Halloween Mummy Snacks are perfect for a Halloween party or for eating before going trick or treating. Chicken nuggets or pizza rolls wrapped in dough with olive eyes are the perfect, simple Halloween dinner!

Ask any parent what two, sure fire foods are for kids under 10 and they’ll probably give you some form of “chicken nuggets and pizza.” Maybe throw in PB&J or hot dogs but let’s be real, kids love chicken nuggets and pizza.

Okay, okay, I’m 26 and I also love chicken nuggets and pizza. But I digress.

If you’ve been a follower for some time, you probably are aware how much I adore Halloween. I’ve always been the one to start planning for Halloween in July (okay, fine, I may or may not start planning even before that. So sue me.) which is kind of how these little mummy snacks came about.

I was perusing the Halloween side of Pinterest (AS ONE DOES IN JULY, DON’T JUDGE ME ;)) and I saw these super cute mummy dogs pop up again and again. Problem is, for the most part, my kids aren’t huge hot dog fans. Blame my husband who ‘makes’ them eat artisanal, gourmet sausages, but hot dogs aren’t big in our house.

Forest Friend Themed Lunch Boxes

This post was sponsored by Nabisco as part of an Integrated Activation for Influence Central and all opinions expressed in my post are my own.

I grew up in a classic NJ suburb. Slow street, houses relatively close to one another, tons of kids our age in the neighborhood – I loved it. The closest we really got to ‘wilderness’ without going to a county or state park was the park down the street where my brother and neighbor, and I would ~observe~ ski bugs and try to find the right rocks to get to the other side of the stream without getting wet. As I grew up, I spent a lot of time at my mom’s house at the Jersey shore, went to school there and then live in a tiny beach town as a newlywed and while pregnant.

And then we bought a house and I was kind of in for a huge shock.
