Halloween Countdown: No Tricks, Just (Rice Krispie) Treats

Even though I try to eat healthy most of the year—gotta keep my body fuelled properly for track season, right?—we're approaching dangerous territory over the next few months.

I made it through Thanksgiving with only one—well, okay, two—slices of pumpkin pie, but it's been a month of (sneaked) Halloween candy, and then soon, Grandma's special Nanaimo Bars will make an appearance for the Christmas season, not to mention more stuffing, cranberry sauce, and... *wipes drool* You get the idea.

My willpower is tested even more because my family and I watch Halloween baking shows throughout the month. I can't BELIEVE some of the spooktacular things some people can make out of cake. It's almost enough to make me want to become a baker. Almost. I don't think I have the discipline for that.

But, when Mom does let me in the kitchen, there are a few things I'm getting pretty good at making. Like Rice Krispie squares. Actually, I've become quite a master at making them. Which is why I did a search for Halloween treats that I could make out of Rice Krispies and oh. my. gosh. Look at what I found!

Can you believe it? I think I'll make some tonight...but which kind? Maybe I need to practice them ALL and make them for my classroom Halloween party? That's probably too many options, right?

Which ones would you choose?

Gotta jet! See you tomorrow for more spooktacular Halloween countdown fun! TWO MORE SLEEPS!
