   small bags of caramel popcorn

   mix up in a bowl: peanuts, mini pretzels, and brown and orange peanut mnms, bag of peanut butter morsels you get in the baking section(put them in small dixie cups on a tray (they sell them in solid bright orange around holidays)

   I’ve seen pigs in a blanket made to look like fingers or you can just add poppy seeds to the top and they look great for halloween

   finger food. Its all about presentation. Like chips and cheese dip. They sell organic chips that are black, use those. Meats cheese and crackers, use cookie cutters for different shapes. Check mix can be used as well, just mix it in milk and white chocolate.

   As Halloween comes, M&Ms come out in Fall colors. Just mix a bag of Fall M&Ms with dry-roasted peanuts & almonds, and some golden raisins:) ….. You could also dip the ends of pretzel rods into melted chocolate coating and roll in chopped nuts or Fall sprinkles…..
