Halloween Fun ~ Creepy Smiles & Carrot Fingers
My husband had to work through dinner on Monday so I decided to make a fun and festive Halloween meal for my kids. First up, were these fun and silly creepy smiles & carrot fingers. I was inspired by several different website with Halloween ideas for your kids’ meals. My kids gobbled them all up and I never once had to remind them to eat their veggies. You can’t beat that! I’ll post the other spooktacular recipes from this dinner soon.
Cut a slice down the center of the pea pods lengthwise through both sides of the pod. Place a piece of baby bell pepper into the center of the slice. Add a few almond slivers inside for the fangs.
Peel the carrots and cut them into finger length pieces. Place a bit of the cheese on the back of the almond slice then place on the tip of the carrot to look like a finger nail. Place on a plate and serve. Enjoy.
