Making sure your little goblins have a hearty supper before trick-or-treating can be a trick in and of itself! Every kid knows the early bird gets the miniature snickers! (Bit-o-honey = latecomer.) But as moms everywhere know all too well, superheroes and Disney princesses will not hold out the night on candy-power alone. The trick: Quick and fun dishes your hungry li’l villains cannot refuse! This thought inspired us to transform our favorite Mac-N-cheese into a Halloween affair.
Mac-N-Cheese turns frightfully fun when placed in an oversized Halloween cookie cutter. Just make your favorite Mac-N-Cheese (our favorite easy recipe is below), scoop it into your Halloween cookie cutters, and serve! Pair it with one of our earlier featured Yummy Mummy Dogs or Hallowieners and little Dracula’s appetite will be completely satisfied.
Because we know trying to cook when Batman needs his utility belt adjusted is near impossible, we strongly suggest Paula Dean’s slow cooker Creamy Macaroni and Cheese recipe. Throw the ingredients in the crockpot while the kiddos are at school and hours later you will have a piping hot meal for the chilly night! You’ll be able to focus on reattaching Minnie Mouse’s tail and not having to worry about dinner getting cold…or burnt! Talk about No Fuss Fabulous!
