I’ve gone Halloween crazy. You should see my pantry … or maybe you shouldn’t. It’s kind of a mess because I’m running out of places to put all the candy and seasonal treats. Of course that’s not stopping me from buying more. I just have to find new storage places … so don’t open any cabinets!
My latest find was the Nabisco Spooky Edition Classic Mix that I picked up on my most recent trip to Walmart. The package was just so fun that I couldn’t resist. It’s full of little bags of Mini OREOs, Ritz Bits, Chips Ahoy, and Nutter Butters. I’m always hooked by mini things. They’re just so fun to eat.
These little packs would be great to hand out for Halloween to trick or treaters or in lunch boxes as a fun surprise at school. Of course, I wanted to have some fun with them on my own. You know I’m just a kid at heart 🙂
I picked up some vanilla ice cream and Fanta to make Cookies and Cream Fanta Floats. This is such a fun and easy to make recipe that kids will love to help make. They’ll also love to eat it for a fun after school treat or dessert.
I let the vanilla ice cream soften for about fifteen minutes so that it would be easy to mix the Mini OREOs into it. I chopped those up fine and used a spoon to mix them into the ice cream. I also made one with the Nutter Butters for myself. It was super yummy too!
I placed the ice cream in a fun glass and topped it with Fanta. In no time I had the most amazing afternoon pick me up. My friends enjoyed the OREO ones and I devoured the Nutter Butter one. I can’t wait to have another Halloween inspired girls’ night in to make more of these floats. In fact, I’m going to keep the Halloween fun going all October long and you should too!
OREOs and Fanta go so well together and to further demonstrate that Evette Rios, host of the CBS show Recipe Rehab created a Walmart-exclusive recipe that is featured on the #SpookySnacks social hub. You have to check it out for more fun ideas!
