These easy Mummy and Monster Dirt Cups have just a few ingredients. Make monster and mummy cookies out of shortbread and candy!
Can I be 100% honest? I do not like Halloween. It’s the day every year when we tell kids it’s okay to take candy from strangers…and it forces me to be all outdoorsy and stuff. Like, I have to put on shoes. And walk. And pretend to think kids in costumes are cute. (Pretty much I’m the Grinch of Halloween, and I fully embrace it.)
Every year I beg Jordan to let us hang out at a friends’ house that does a garage party on Halloween. The kids just go up and down the streets close by in huge groups. Every year she nixes that idea and I have to walk miles carrying her candy bucket and then come home late and put her to bed late on a school night and deal with the aftermath for the rest of the week. (Those poor, poor teachers.)
I don’t know why I can’t get behind it as a holiday. I just…can’t. I’ve tried for years to enjoy it…but it’s just not my thing. What IS my thing? Cute Halloween food that’s supposed to be scary. Now THAT is something I can get behind.
There is just something SO FREAKING CUTE about Halloween food, whether it’s eyeballs or spiderwebs or brooms or witches hats. Now, with the invention of sugar eyeballs, the cute scary factor is ratcheted up about a million notches.
I had so much fun putting the eyeballs on these monsters and mummies. They look crazy and scared and not at all creepy even though if I ran into a real-life mummy or monster I would most certainly be scared.
Maybe it’s the scariness of Halloween I don’t like? I never was a fan of scary movies – I’ve never seen Freddy Kruger or any of those terrifying movies they show this time of year.
These monsters are even cuter when you add them to dirt pudding cups. What kid (or adult) doesn’t like a dirt pudding cup?
