One of my very favorite parts of any holiday is getting the kids involved, and Halloween is the ultimate in family participation for us!
From picking their costumes out (guys, any other kids change their minds 56 times because this is soooo exciting?!), to planning which friends they’re walking around with to planning the party. Because here’s the cool part… my daughter’s birthday is just a couple days after Halloween, so we usually combine the two and throw a super cool party for all their friends.
This works perfectly for me, because what could be more fun than throwing a party for a bunch of kids all dressed up in the goofiest costumes you can imagine!? And, honestly, even if the timing didn’t work out with her birthday, we’d be joining the other 34% of Americans who agree that Halloween parties are a must!
My daughter is artistic, so I’m always trying to come up with recipes like this Hershey’s Candy Cookie Pie where she can pitch in with the design aspect even if she isn’t too into the actual mixing of the dough.
This comes together SO quickly, because I know that even though you want that Halloween-themed dessert for your party, you still have lots of other things to take care of before your guests arrive!
