10 Last Minute Halloween Treats and Ideas

10 easy last-minute treats and ideas for Halloween.  If you need a quick Halloween idea, this is the place to start!

Feeling lazy about celebrating Halloween?  Too busy to think of an over-the-top Halloween idea?  I’ve got you covered with these easy Halloween treats and ideas for you!  Alright, I gotta confess something.  I sorta hate Halloween.  (Yikes, don’t hate me for this!).  I mean, it’s fun for about 2 weeks, but then I’m sick of it.  The stores and my kids all get excited for it early in September so by the time October thirty-one comes around, I’m super tired of ghosts, zombies, and jack-o-lanterns.  I’m not even gonna go into my lack of creativity for Halloween costumes (*eyeroll).  But I gotta put on a good face and muster up some energy to create a fun Halloween day for my kidlets.  So here’s my lazy, I’m-sick-of-spooky, last-minute Halloween round up of ideas for you.

10 last minute Halloween Ideas
 
Hopefully, these last minute Halloween ideas and treats will make your Halloween celebration simple and fun (and lazy . . . hee hee).

 






 

 
 

 

 
1.  I love this Oreo Eyeball Cake from Little Miss Mom.  Frost the cake and then stick on those eyeballs and M & M’s and you are good to go!
 
 
 

 Mini Oreos for the small eyeballs
 
  
 

 

 
2.   How about a Monster Trail Mix Bar  like this from A Girl and Her Glue Gun?  Put together a few candies and snacks, name them using her printables and you are done!  Use pretzels, banana chips, candy corn, nuts, and more.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
3.   These Magical Color Changing Drinks are a favorite at our house.  We do this often to surprise our kids on holidays.  Put some food coloring at the bottom of the glass under the ice while the kids are not looking.  Then in front of them, pour a clear drink and see how it changes colors right before their eyes!
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 

 

4.   I’ve made this Perfect Fall Cheeseball from Family Fresh Meals.  It’s got a yummy southwest zest to it and it’s covered in Doritos, so how can you go wrong?  Super easy to make!

 

 

 

 

5.   Surprise your kidlets on Halloween night with a simple Glow-in-the-Dark Party!  Have dinner in the dark.  All you have to do is set up some glow sticks and fun glowing items and HAVE FUN!

 

 

 

 

 

6.   This on takes just a few minutes to throw together.  Marshmallows in a zip baggie and call them Ghost Boogers.  Click on the link for my FREE printable labels and other goodies!

 

 

 

 

 

7.   This one is a no-brainer.  Toss your favorite Halloween munchies in a bowl and you’ve got Autumn Harvest Trail Mix.  Perfect for movies, parties, and just plain snacking!  The Bugles snacks give it a delicious flavor!

 

 

 

 

 

8.   Ok, this is not totally last-minute because you gotta freeze the water inside the latex gloves, but you could easily do this morning of or the night before! Call it Ghost Punch and kids will love you.   We used the green Hawaiian Punch to give it that ghostly color.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

9.   This is what I call HEAVEN IN A BOWL! I learned to make this 3 Ingredient Toffee Apple Dip in Arkansas so it’s a true comfort food.  It’ll be a hit, I promise!  And it’s so quick to make!

 

 

 

 

 

10.   Lastly, make some vanilla pudding, add green food coloring, and call it Slime Pudding.  Easy.

New movie coming out that I want to see. I remembe New movie coming out that I want to see. I remember when this happened in 1989. The boy Josh was lost in an abandoned mine in UT for 5 days. It was a miracle how they found him. He was about my age so it made an impression on me. Now this true story has been made into a movie called Faith of Angels. @faithofangelsfilm 
Check out the trailer here: https://upvir.al/158749/lp158749  DO YOU REMEMBER this news story?
Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @hal Probably one of the best shows I’ve seen at @halecentretheatre lately!! The Nutty Professor had us laughing all the way to the end and the music was clever and fun.  If you’ve been trying to decide about this one, I’d say don’t miss it! #halecentretheatre #thenuttyprofessormusical #halecentretheatresandy
Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Ticket Did you go to 801 Day at @hoglezoo in Utah? Tickets were only $8.01 on 8/01 and the zoo opened at 8:01 am. 
I went with my nieces and nephews and it was VERY BUSY! (like Disneyland busy). We arrived about 11 am and every parking lot was completely full and side streets were filling fast. Needless to say we had to walk a bit in the heat just to get to the front gate. There were lines to get in, lines, at snack shops, and definitely a line for the train. BUT we saw some animals—-lions, tigers, bears (oh my!)…plus giraffes, zebras, and a leopard.  It was definitely worth $8.01 but it’s not for the faint of heart. A fun adventure! #hoglezoo #801day #familyactivities #hoglezooutah 🐒🐅🦒🐘🦓
So the amount of car wash centers popping up every So the amount of car wash centers popping up everywhere has made me curious. Why are they everywhere?! So we decided to try is and see what the fuss was all about. Here’s the PROS AND CONS we found:

Pros:
• Gentle yet very thorough wash—no scratching!
• Attendants right there to help you
• Fun lights and cool sprayers—it’s like a show!
• Powerful vacuums and extras for detailing

Cons:
• So expensive! This is not your regular $5 car wash. 
• They have limited hours. This one closes by 7 pm so no car washing whenever you want
• Kinda an eyesore to have a car wash in every corner in town. 

What do you think? What Pros and Cons have you found? Do you like these big car was centers?
