Halloween Dessert Table

 

This Halloween Dessert table is colorful and fun, but to keep it cohesive and coordinated, we used silver platters for all of the goodies.

 

The squares in the front keep orderly and organized treats in rows. The platters in the back are elevated to bring height to the table. In the center, our pièce de résistance is an adorable Halloween cupcake tower embellished with black marabou feathers.

 

The square platters along the front of the dessert table show off these incredibly simple Halloween treats. These Frankenstein pops are so easy to make.

Next, bundle two Oreo cookies together with some orange ribbon, and line them up neatly on the second platter.

The purple foil on dark chocolate Kisses goes perfectly on the table. Again, we lined them up in orderly rows.

For the last square platter, just wrap some candy bars in Halloween scrapbooking paper, secured with some glue dots, and embellish them with a tag.

On the left side of the table, we elevated a large silver bowl of gumballs in orange and purple.

On the right side… caramel apples. Microwave the caramels until they are just melted, and dip the apples. They fit beautifully in the Little Goblins Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers. The tiered dessert stand gives them extra height.

5 Healthy Halloween Treats—Classroom Party Ideas

 

Are you the class mom looking classroom Halloween Party ideas, or just having your own Halloween party and looking for healthy Halloween treat ideas? Read on…

 

Kids love Halloween, but many moms don’t love the gore. Striking the perfect balance of spooky sweetness, the Little Goblins collection by Confetti Couture makes the compromise easy. Use these adorable cupcake wrappers to embellish almost any snack for the class and distract the kiddos from the notion that they are healthy. GASP!

 

Inserting a baking liner or clear cup into the festive Halloween cupcake wrappers presents so many possibilities. Here’s a list of kids’ party food ideas that will keep the sugar toll to a minimum on Halloween day…

 

Healthy Halloween Treat Idea #1:

 

Healthy Halloween treat - tangerine jack o lanterns

 

Clementine Jack-o-lanterns-- Using a permanent marker, draw a simple jack-o-lantern face on each Clementine. These fit perfectly in Mini Skirtz mini cupcake wrappers.

 

Healthy Halloween Treat Idea #2:

 

Healthy Halloween snack - veggie cups with Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers

 

Veggies and dip- Put a dollop of dip in the bottom of a plastic cup. We place the cups in Little Black Dress Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers to add to coordinate with the party theme.

 

Healthy Halloween Treat Idea #3:


Healthy Halloween party snack - cheese and crackers with Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers

 

Cheese and Crackers—Nestle kid size portions of cheese and crackers into Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers lined with baking liners.

 

Healthy Halloween Treat Idea #4:

 

Caramel apple cups for Halloween classroom party

Healthy Halloween Treat Idea #5:

 

Caramel apple party favor in Little Goblins Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers

 

For older kids, this can even be an activity. Just melt some caramels and keep them in a slow cooker on the warm setting for your Halloween party. Let the kids dip the apples and decorate with sprinkles. The finished caramel apples fit beautifully in Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers, and look special enough to be a sweet Halloween party favor. Just drop the whole creation in a cello bag and tag it with their name. A coordinating ribbon will finish it off.

 

Presentation is everything. Kids will hardly notice the healthy part of these adorable Halloween treats!
