There is a reason kids love Halloween. They get to dress up in interesting costumes, have fun with strange décor, celebrate with friends, and, of course, have treats.

Obviously, the biggest for many children is the candy. When deciding on the kids Halloween treats, you want to choose the fun and spooky, but not too frightening, stuff. They ignite their imagination and have them thinking in interesting, creative ways. Rather than buy this from a local store, try making them yourself.

There are plenty of ideas and recipes out there, as well as your imagination and theirs, to depend on. Doing this will give both of you the opportunity to have fun together and turn this holiday into a bigger memory than it would have been otherwise.

If you are looking for the traditional, monster-inspired treats, you have plenty you can do. You do not have to be an artist to create these, either; as long as you have the supplies and the desire to have fun with your children, you can make them. Popsicles, cupcakes, cakes, and many other treats already have recipes available so you only need the items. Some of the simpler stuff, like cookies, is even easier. As long as you have the mold or cutter, you can have it made quickly. Once you do, you can begin decorating a little more if you want. The colorful and interesting monster inspired kids Halloween treats will give everyone some spook and shock this holiday.

Any person hoping to do something just plain spooky, no theme, will, obviously, have options available to them. You can do a volcano type cake with a red filling, bloody treats, and drinks with bugs and ooze in them. There are ways to create or buy your own gummies so you can throw in worms, roaches, and other creepy crawlies into drinks and treats. If you want to make a cupcake or cookie, you can use decorations and other tasty additions to create something scary yet delicious. Everything basic can be turned into a frightening treat with just a little imagination, effort, and supplies.

Drinks may have fewer options, but that does not mean there are none. You can use gelatin, food coloring, and ice to create amazing juices that your children will love. Whether you want something resembling blood or a colorful, interesting drink with gummy bugs and brain ice, you can do it. You can even use objects or ingredients to create ooze like or glowing drinks, creating an almost science experiment like drink.

Turning this holiday into a memorable and exciting one for your children requires more than the costumes and décor. You can create kids Halloween treats to inspire and interest them. There are character inspired ones as well as the plain spooky, frightening treats out there, all of which you can make right at home. Many recipes are available online, making it easy to find something you and your child will enjoy. Whatever choice you make, it will brighten the day and frighten during the night this coming Halloween.
