My pants are too tight as I write this post-I think I’ve gained five pounds putting this post together! I’m a sucker for Muddy Buddies and when I’ve got to test out 3 different flavors of Halloween muddy buddies (because I want to make sure I’m giving you the best of the best-I’m a giver like that), things get a little crazy and pants get a little tight.

But these Halloween Muddy Buddies are good and when you put one of these cute tags on them and make it into fun Halloween gift ideas to take to friends, good things happen.

There are three amazing flavors-each with a fun Halloween theme and each with a coordinating gift tag so that you can package it up cute.

Simple Halloween Gift:

Once you have chosen your favorite flavor (or make all three), all you need to do is grab a jar, fill it up, and add the cute tag.  These Halloween Gift Ideas don’t get any simpler and your friends will love them.

Monster Muddy Buddies:

Here’s a fun monster version, mint Muddy Buddies with Frankenstein on the tag.

One of my favorite things about Muddy Buddies is how easy they are to make! You can whip up a batch of these in about ten minutes and have cute Halloween gift ideas all ready to go.

Ingredients

• 9 C Rice Chex
• 1 C Chocolate Chips
• 1/2 C Caramel Sauce
• 2 1/2–3 C Powdered Sugar
• Candy Corn and Candy Pumpkins
• Fall Colored Sixlets

Instructions

Pour Rice Chex in a large bowl.

In a smaller bowl add your chocolate chips and melt in microwave (stirring occasionally to prevent burning).

Pour over your Rice Chex and stir until totally coated. Add your caramel sauce and stir again until it is also coating the cereal. Add powdered sugar and stir (or put a lid on the bowl and shake) until all the cereal is evenly covered.

Add candy corn, pumpkins, and Sixlets.

Mmmmm! This stuff comes out so chewy and nice and is especially good after it has some time to sit.

Here’s a cute label for you to add. Either right click and save and print from your computer or here’s a PDF with a couple of them ready for you to print:

Skeleton Muddy Buddies

Print Recipe

• Author: Fun-Squared

Ingredients

• 2 C white chocolate chips
• 9 C Rice Chex
• 1 teaspoon coconut extract (optional-add more to taste)
• 1 1/2 powdered sugar
• Mini Marshmallows
• Shredded Coconut
• Sixlets (optional) (Get these at a party store)

Instructions

Melt your white chocolate. This part is tricky because white chocolate can be finicky. Make sure to stir often whether you are doing it in the microwave or on the stove. Heat and mix till melted.

Put your Chex in a big bowl and then pour your white chocolate mixture over it and stir till it’s covering the Chex evenly.

Add in your coconut extract, pouring it over the mixture.

Sprinkle on your powdered sugar and mix till it covers the Chex.

Sprinkle on mini marshmallows and shredded coconut to taste.

Add Sixlets for a pop of color.

Here’s the fun tag:

Everyone knows that Halloween is a witch’s busy season, and I don’t want any of those good witches to start to look frazzled.  It takes work to keep that green face glowing and the frizzy hair under control.  So, let’s bust out those cauldrons and start to fill them with all things needed to keep the witches in our lives flying high on their broomsticks.

If you need a cute gift idea for a friend this time of year, it of course needs to have a fun Halloween flare.  This could not be simpler to put together and you will get extra cool points for creativity.

I started with a plastic cauldron (easy to find almost anywhere this time of year), and loaded it full of fun witchy items.

It’s also a great party favor or prize for our fun Witch’s Night Out Party!

Cute Witch’s Halloween Gifts:

Here’s what we included in our kit:

• Nail Polish
• Striped Socks
• Green mud mask
• Chocolate
• Pop Bottle
• All in a cauldron (get them at party stores)

Here’s a peek inside:

The most important thing to remember when giving a gift is who you are giving it to.  Think about the recipient…what does she like, what things make her happy?  And start to build your perfect present.

I have a fun tag for you to use, but within these categories personalize anything you can.

Here’s the printable tag:

Here’s a PDF that you can use to print it or you can right click and save to your computer, size it how you want in a program like Word or Pages:

If you couldn’t tell already, I LOVE Halloween, and I also LOVE simple and cute gift ideas. So put the two together into fun gift ideas for Halloween that you can deliver to your friends and I’m way too excited! (Maybe you can tell since I keep posting more and more of them!)

What a fun surprise if you showed up at a friend’s door or a coworker’s desk with one of these right? No one is expecting presents in October, but that’s half the fun. Surprising someone and brightening their day. I’m dying over how cute so many of these Halloween gift ideas are!

I can’t even decide which I like best! Cute witch feet treats? Perfection! Soap with a cute and simple tag? Fantastic! A pedicure kit? These ideas are too much fun!

You could take these cute gifts to co-workers, to friends, to teachers at school, to your neighbors, really to anyone you can think of! Many of them are super easy-just slap a tag on them and you’re good to go!

Check these out and then we want to hear which ones you’re going to give away as Halloween gifts this year!
