Yesterday after lunch, while Madeline was napping, Mommy called me into the kitchen. She asked if I wanted to help her make Halloween treats for Play-n-Pray. Of course I wanted to help! I ran to grab my stool and came right back. Earlier in the week we'd bought some bags of candy disks, tiny plastic (shot) glasses, and little bitty spoons, but I didn't know what we were doing with them. Mommy was looking in the pantry for something, but couldn't find it. She told me she didn't have everything we needed so we wouldn't be able to make the treats. I got really sad and worried because now I wouldn't have treats for my playgroup! I asked Mommy to take me to the store to get what we were missing (a plastic squeeze bottle and orange food coloring). But Madeline was napping so we couldn't leave. As soon as I heard Madeline make some noise I ran straight for the van. We could go to the store now and my treats for my playgroup would be saved! There was no telling me no at that point. So Mommy got Madeline in the van and off to WalMart we went. We returned home with two things: a plastic squeeze bottle and orange food coloring.
So we set back at making the treats. We melted the green and black candy melts in the squeeze bottles. Mommy used the green to make "pumpkin stems" and the black the draw Jack-o-Lantern faces one the insides of all the cups. I helped her by handing each cup to her. Then she got out a big bowl and poured lots of milk into it. She added orange food coloring and instant pudding mix (vanilla). I got to stir it all together! Then we poured the pudding into each of the cups.
Once they were all filled and the pudding had a chance to set up for a bit, we added the pumpkin stems on top and a little spoon in each one.
And that finished off the little Jack-o-Lantern treats for my playgroup!
I can't wait to share them with all my friends!!
