My cute Mom has always thrown the BEST parties! Really ever since I can remember we were planning a party whether it be a birthday, shower or holiday party. I'm sure if you've been a follower of this blog for any length of time you know she always puts a special touch on anything she does.
Last Sunday she had a Candy Corn Halloween Party for our family, everyone had so much fun! Luckily for all of us she wanted to share all her fun finds with all of you too!
These party ideas are perfect for last minute party prepping or if you are in need of a fun and easy game or two!
Let's start with the tablescape. I love that she kept it clean and cute! And those milk glasses full of orange soda were the perfect addition. I'll list where she got everything below!
For food she planned and prepared everything, and assigned us girls dessert. Brittany and I created some fun candy corn themed goodies (with some help from Mom:)!
I brought candy corn rice krispie treats! They were delicious, surprisingly easy and so festive! I used my basic rice krispie treat recipe (you can find
HERE) and made two batches. The first batch I colored the melted marshmallow mixture yellow, formed the bottom layer of candy corn around a round cake pan. Use a measuring cup for a nice clean edge and flat top. With the next batch I used about 4 cups of cereal for the orange layer and 2 cups for the white layer and eye balled the marshmallow (make sure to take out the white marshmallow before you tint it orange!). Simply keep layering until the cake pan is full and you have a ring of yellow, orange and white in the middle. Set in the fridge till serving, pull out of fridge about 10 minutes before cutting and cut in triangles.
Just a word of advise, you may want to have more pans on hand, and make the rice krispies less thick. We kept cutting them smaller because there was just SO much rice krispie treat. This size was not for the faint of heart! :)
Brittany made these adorable candy corn cupcakes. She split the batter into three and colored each one yellow, orange and white; layered each one in the baking liners and baked like normal. It was so cool to see the layers once you took a bite!
For the main course my Mom made two different soups and had pumpkin bread bowls!
Completely delicious!
She made Taco Soup and Potato Soup. We love my Mom's Taco Soup recipe! The Potato Soup was a new recipe she tried and we all loved it you can find the recipe
HERE!
She had a trio of toppings: sour cream, shredded cheese, and bacon bits.
I love what she did to a basic cheeseball! She rolled the store bought cheeseball in shredded carrots and placed a celery stalk in the middle. Super easy and super cute!
Here's the full spread! Look in the background do you see those two cuties? They were so excited to eat they were sitting at their table WAY before we even started eating.
My Mom even set the table for them with a Trick or Treat bucket full of crayons and coloring pages. She found the cute little coloring pages
HERE!
Back to the spread!
She had so many different vegetables with our favorite veggie dip in a perfect little pumpkin.
She prepped all the veggies before and put them in large gallon sized bags so it was easy to pull out when we were ready to eat.
Let me tell you everything was amazing!
After eating it was time for games! We started with Brittany's Halloween Bingo.
Can we just take a minute to look at how adorable these are! She is such a wizard at making things on her computer! She has this FREE printable on her TPT store if you'd like to snag a copy you can go
HERE!
My Mom filled a huge basket with all different prizes that everyone would love from candy to organizing bins, Halloween towels, money and more!
Bingo was good to me this time around!
After Halloween Bingo we played Pass the Broom! We all got in a big circle and started passing the broom, my Mom had Halloween music playing and my Dad would turn it off randomly. Who ever had the broom when the music stopped got a prize from the basket.
My Mom was a Room Mom for as long as I can remember in our elementary school classes. She would always play this with the class and if they were older she would add another broom stick, both going different ways to make it even more exciting! When the music stopped for the class the two people with the broom would be out, they would keep playing till it was down to one or two people depending on how many brooms you are using.
Next game Pumpkin Toss! My Mom has these cute pumpkin containers with numbers on them but these would be a cinch to make. To play just determine a line and toss! Whoever gets the highest number wins.
I loved these eyeball balls my mom had to toss!
My Mom packed a little treat bag for each of us full of chocolate! Our favorite!
With a cute little candy corn on the back too. She thinks of everything!
