A
Halloween Haunted House
2
containers (16 ounce) chocolate fudge frosting*
Decorations:
pretzel
sticks
graham
crackers
black
licorice and red twists
candy
corn
M&Ms
Foil
wrapped Halloween Candy
rice
crackers
Orange
Sprinkles
Colored
icing for writing or decorating
2
empty 1 qt. milk cartons, rinsed and dried
1
large tray covered with foil.
*You
can use a thick homemade frosting instead.
Tape
each milk carton closed at top. Tape milk cartons
together
to make a house. Wrap with foil. Attach firmly
to
the covered tray with tape. Frost cartons with chocolate frosting.
Frost
the tray also to use as the lawn. Decorate with the assorted
treats!
Some ideas-
*Sprinkle
orange sugar on the roof of the house.
*Rice
crackers make neat "attic" windows.
*graham
crackers for windows and doors-highlight with icing.
*pretzel
stick window panes
*M&M
"pathway stones" leading to the door.
*Candy
corn "icicles" under the roof
After
you have the house and pathway finished add
details
to the lawn area. Foil wrapped candy is great
because
you buy little mummies, ghosts or pumpkins
and
place them on the pathway and around the house.
Buy
from the bulk section of your grocery store to get
a
really good selection without having to buy a lot of
one
type of candy. After all the oohs and ahs have
subsided
and Halloween is over, let the kids pick off
all
the candy while they discuss what to do for next
year's
Haunted House Spectacular!
