It is a #HersheysHalloween
Are you planning a party this Halloween? Do you have activities planned for the kids? Some kids do not like the spooky and scary part of Halloween so sometimes you have to get a little creative with Halloween parties. I love to create fun games for the all ages to enjoy from the little ones to the big ones.
First up, Halloween candy people. The kids can let their imagination go wild and let them create little monsters, mummies, ghosts, whatever they would like scary or not. There are no rules. Just provide tools they can use. Tools we used:
-Rolos
-Cadbury Creme Egg
-toothpick
Next, we made little Ice Cream and Candy Cemetery. We made tombstones by cutting KitKats and Hershey's in smaller pieces. Used food coloring to paint the whipped cream. Also made little ghosts with the whipped cream. Tools we used:
-ice cream single serve cups
-whipped cream
-green food coloring
-Halloween KitKat snack size
-Hershey's milk chocolate snack size
All treats are edible for the kids to enjoy while they are having fun using their imagination. Next we played games. One game we love to play all the time is Tic Tac Toe. All we needed was a board to play on. Tools we used:
-Halloween KitKat snack size
-Hershey's kisses (2 different colors)
Another fun game we like to play came inspired from the Carnival. This one is fun and everyone gets prizes. Each person gets 5 chances to get the candy in the cups without knocking over. Or you can do 3 in a row. Tools we used:
-plastic cups
-Rolos
-prizes (i picked up small toys from the $1 store)
If you are having a pirate themed Halloween party, you can also use the candy as props. Tools used:
-Rolos (because they are gold)
-Hershey's kisses (because they are silver)
Of course after everyone has had a lot of fun, you can make candy bags for everyone to take home. Or you can put the candy in witches pots and have them fill their own. I love the Halloween candy shaped like pumpkins from York, Reese's, pumpkin spice Hershey's kisses, and the orange KitKats.
I fixed candy bags for the kids to take home to play with. Each bag have lots of goodies for them to enjoy once they leave. I also put their names on them just in case someone grabbed a bag before leaving so that the bags would not get mixed up. You know kids they then to put things down and then lose them.
Planning a party this Halloween? Got any ideas you want to share....I would love to hear what works for you at your parties.

Werther’s Original® Baking Bash MommyParty
I am so happy I was picked to host a Werther’s Original® Baking Bash MommyParty.
Last year for my daughter's birthday I tried to make Caramel Apples. I can honestly tell you I was doing too much and bombed. I was so upset because it was part of my theme. My husband saw how frustrated I was and came to the rescue. I had burned the cornstarch or something and I had quit. You can't rush that process. When I received this party kit and saw the recipe ideas, I was ready to try again. But that was not the only thing included in the party kit, the Werther’s Original® "Baking Bash" MommyParties Kit includes:

Thanks to Werther’s Original® and MomSelect MommyParties I was able to give Caramel a second chance. I enjoy eating it but after last year's little incident have been scared to try to make goodies with it. Caramel Apples vs Independentmami Part 2-
The Werther's Original Caramels are easy to use and make delicious tasting apple desserts for any party you are hosting. These came out perfect. I didn't mess them up or burn the caramel.
Before the party guests arrived, we had Caramel Mocha Hot Chocolate ready for them. It only took 15 minutes to make.
Ingredients needed:
milk, sugar, instant coffee, chocolate (i use the caramel instead), Werther's Original Baking Caramels, and whipped cream
