Make Your Own Monster Brownies Halloween Party Activity

in Celebrations, Crafts & DIY, Edible Food Crafts, Halloween / Fall

The Halloween season is becoming really fun this year with a 3 year old in the house and a 3 year old niece nearby.  They’re all about everything pumpkin, are getting excited to don costumes and understand the concept of special treats happening around this time of year. Last week I threw a little play date with a delicious concept in mind: making monster brownies!

First things first, I needed to make the brownies and for that I ventured out to my weekly little piece of heaven, Target.

Their Halloween section rocks this year and the baking section did not disappoint either!

I grabbed a box of Pillsbury™ Funfetti® Halloween Premium Brownie Mix, a container of Pillsbury™ Funfetti® Halloween Vanilla Flavored Frosting and a few other goodies for our monster making session.

Brielle loves being “a good helper,” especially in the kitchen, so we spent some time together before the play date mixing up the brownie base for our monsters.

I am totally in love with how easy and yummy baking mixes are, especially ones that already include the colors of the season like these! I put each ingredient in a bowl and let her mix them in. So simple!

She was so proud to help make these with me and Hailey was just excited to see the mixer go round and round!

When it came time to craft up some monster brownies I made it simple and put an assortment of toppings in a muffin tin.

This was the girls’ first experience using a plastic knife and trust me, us mommies were paying close attention! We were both so pleasantly surprised to see how well they both did to spread the vanilla frosting on top.

Next we let them explore the toppings. I had made a few example monster brownies to show them as reference but they did not need them!

The both dove right in crafting up some monsters! We encouraged them to try and include the basics like eyes (as many or little as you want) and a smile and let them do whatever they wanted with hair, noses or even eyebrows. Each girl made two monster brownies and us mommies were so proud at the outcome!

It was fun to see what they came up with and now we have a really fun memory of our first family food crafting session, thanks to Pillsbury!

And to recap how easy it was, here’s your super simple recipe:

  • Mix Pillsbury Funfetti Halloween Premium Brownie Mix to bake brownies according to the directions on the box.
  • Once cool, cut into shapes.
  • Spread Pillsbury Funfetti Halloween Vanilla Flavored Frosting on top.
  • Decorate with an assortment of toppings then enjoy!

Whether it’s a play date with toddlers or a big Halloween bash, I encourage you to consider a monster brownie making station and see what everyone crafts up!

Some highlights of what my yard produced this year Some highlights of what my yard produced this year:
🎃 Gourds - currently 42 harvested and drying, but tons more coming!
🌞 Yellow Roses - these 2 plants bloom at least 4 times in spring and summer!
🍅 Tomatoes - tons of Roma and Supersweet 100 breeds used for appetizers, sauces and salads. Happy to grow and to gift these away!
🧄 Garlic - planted last fall and harvested in June. Doing this again this October! Should I also do onions?
💜 Lavender - The bees love them. I missed the window to dry them but putting that on my list to try next year. Would you want a little satchel of lavender? 
🥒 Cucumbers - slice it up and add some sea salt. Yum!

Our group of 2 adults and 5 kids were hosted by TreeTopQuestPhilly and enjoyed a sunny Saturday exploring obstacles, climbing and ziplining and we'd highly recommend this park! 
.
Here some key details to know before you go:
- The staff is super knowledgable, friendly and patient with climbers of all abilities, but it is self paced where you are in control of your own equipment. 
- You attend an equipment fitting, safety instruction and practice course before you climb 
- Expect to spend the full 2.5 hours of your reservation and you likely won't need sunglasses in this shady spot
- Gloves are an optional purchase, but we didn't get them and no one got any blisters
- There are 4 levels of courses with Level 4 being for those 12+ only. It's HIGH but thrilling to those willing to check it out! 
- Porta potties and lockers are available at the check in area and there are plenty of benches and picnic tables to sit at in the park. Spectators are free to watch from below. 
.
PROMO CODE: Use code SPOTOFTEADESIGNS for 15% off your online ticket order to climb!

Special thanks to @wildercrafting who shared this tip YEARS ago, and I still use it when creating my simple banners.

If you're on a fence about creating a garden next If you're on a fence about creating a garden next year.... do it! While I personally don't eat everything we grow (not a pepper fan!), I do enjoy being outside, caring for the plants, and feeding friends and family!

You can start this fall with garlic! You start planting them in the fall, and you'll enjoy them by summer.
