Yummy Fall Treats

Welcome to Wednesday’s blog! I’m really excited about this one because I really liked how everything came out. For this blog, my brother and I tried three fall inspired recipes that we found on Pinterest. We made a Halloween drink, harvest chex mix and chocolate covered marshmallows. So let’s get into it!

Treat #1: Jack O’Lantern Floats

For this first recipe, all you need is orange soda, cream soda and vanilla ice cream. When we made it, we didn’t use the vanilla ice cream, so you can do whatever you prefer. All you have to do is fill 2/3 of whatever cup or bowl you are using with orange soda and fill the remaining third with cream soda. Then, add a scoop of ice cream and that’s all there is to it. This drink is great for a Halloween party.

Treat #2: Harvest Chex Mix

This was by far my favorite recipe out of the three that we tried. It was so easy and really good. Also, you can add or take out whatever you want. In my chex mix, I put pretzels, Reese’s Pieces, Bugles, Honeycombs, and Vanilla Chex Mix. All you have to do is mix everything together in a bowl and you are done! This is a great snack and also an easy thing to give to your friends and family. (That is what I did and they all loved it!)

Treat #3: Chocolate Covered Pumpkin Marshmallows

For this fall treat, we used pumpkin shaped marshmallows, baking sticks, chocolate candy melts and orange sprinkles. I tried to melt the candy melts and I did not have any luck. I tried putting them in the microwave and even tried double boiling and neither method was working for me. So instead, I used the hard shell topping that you use on ice cream. The hard shell is pictured below.

I put the chocolate syrup on the marshmallow and then dipped it in the sprinkles. After that, I put them in the fridge for 15 minutes or so and they came out pretty good.

I hope you enjoyed reading about my fall treats! I had so much fun making them. Also, big shout out to my brother for helping me make all these and taste testing them all!!
