Here’s a quick and easy Halloween treat your kids will love!
There are only 5 ingredients, and it takes me less than 10 minutes to throw it all together! Go ahead and make a double or even a triple batch for a Halloween party, and then sit back and watch it disappear like a vampire at dawn! (Mu-ha-ha-ha!)
It is a good idea to make a big bunch, because the leftovers are even better the next day!
