Halloween Ghost Peep S'mores

Only 4 more days left until Halloween, so I have another Halloween recipe to post. I saw these cute little Halloween Ghost S'mores posted on Pinterest a couple months back. I knew as soon as I saw these that I had to make them. I'm so glad I pinned these to my pin board so I wouldn't forget.

I was thinking these would make a cute addition to the Halloween Treats that I'm putting together for some of the neighborhood kids. Since we will be out trick or treating and not giving out candy I wanted to make sure to have some fun treat bags to give the kids before we head out.

I also plan on making two kinds of cookies and adding some candy as well. I think everyone will love these spooky little s'more treats. If you're looking for a class treat or teacher gift I think these would be perfect.

These s'mores literally cost me next to nothing to make. The box of graham crackers were under $2, ghost peeps were .98 a package, and the small Hershey bars were $1 for a package of 8. All in all it cost me under $4 to make enough for 8 kiddos.

I got the idea for the bag tags from Christy at Southern Plate. I just adapted them into a Halloween theme. I have included a link to a printable version of the Halloween S'mores Tags in case you want to print off a few. You will need two tags per package. One for the front and one for the back.

Walmart use to sell these neat little clear cellophane party favor bags, but have since discontinued them. I don't know why they did that because they were so useful and inexpensive.

I just used zip lock sandwich bags instead and folded over the zip part so it was under the tag. Then just stapled the tags together and you're done. If you don't want to mess with the tags you can always just tie some Halloween ribbon around the gift sacks instead. It's all up to you.

Of course we had to try a few out to make sure they were edible LOL. We did find out one thing...... S'mores always taste better when bunny ears are involved.

Just a note- be careful when cooking/roasting the smores. My son's birthday is near Easter, so we did Peep smores this year, one of the girls burnt herself badly enough to blister from the sugar on the smores.

These ARE super adorable though :)

Oh goodness that is awful. Everyone make sure your S'more cools down before eating.

They are really easy to make and all the kiddos will love them.

We've done 'smeeps' before around Easter time and my kids have tried and tried to make the peeps explode. Never happens, but it sure is fun to microwave them. I think it would be even more fun to watch the ghosts - haven't seen them anywhere though.

I found both the ghost and the pumpkin peeps at Target. Walgreens usually has them as well.
