AN EASY KID FRIENDLY HALLOWEEN TREAT
I’ve been focused on Halloween treats lately. Pinterest is full of ideas, but many of them require a great deal of skill. I watched in awe as someone made a cupcake with complete with crooked cone hat. Super impressive and totally unreachable for me! You too?
Bottom line: I’m interested in kid friendly Halloween treats that can be put together without a lot of fuss and muss. To begin with you will not see anything that requires piping icing in intricate designs! Actually you won’t see anything that needs a icing bag and piping nozzle!
HOW TO MAKE HALLOWEEN CINNAMON ROLLS
I’m super excited to share these fun Halloween Cinnamon Rolls with you! All you need are a few simple ingredients and some candy eyes. They are sure to be a hit with children of all ages!
We made our Halloween spiders in three colors … purple, orange and Black. All you need to change the color of the frosting to make a completely different look. See how easy they are to make? I’ll walk you through the whole process.
The base for our Halloween cinnamon roll spiders is a package of cinnamon roll dough. How easy is that? Of course, if you wish, you can make your rolls from scratch, but bought dough is fine.
Bake your rolls as instructed on the packaging. Remove from oven and cool.
While they are cooling take your frosting and divide it into separate bowls. Add food coloring to make your colors. I recommend letting your kids go wild with colors of their choice.
Use knives and spoons to spread frosting on the cooled cinnamon rolls and add candy eyes.
Finally poke in some short pretzel sticks and you are good to go. It really is that simple.
These spiders are easy kid friendly Halloween treats to make. Are you ready to whip up your own batch? I love that these are simple enough that even toddlers could enjoy making them. But they are a fun project for older kids too. They would be great to make together for a class party or Halloween gathering (If they last that long).
