Halloween snacks are so much fun. What other time can you feel okay about eating "eyeballs", "monkey brains" or "bug guts". The grossly named food is so much fun for kids. This treat is super easy to make and will have them shrieking with delight!

Creepy Crawly Yummies

Ingredients
1 16oz. bag of large marshmallows
1 14 oz. bag of thin pretzel sticks
1 16 oz. bag of chocolate chips
assorted small hard candies (red hots work well)

Take 6 pretzel sticks and 1 large marshmallow
Press the ends of the sticks into the sides of the marshmallow. 3 sticks on each side like spider legs.
Set aside.
Repeat with all of the marshmallows.

Pour 1 cup of chocolate chips into a microwave safe bowl and heat for 30 second intervals, stirring in between, until melted.

Take marshmallows with pretzel sticks in sides and dip into melted chocolate, covering both marshmallow and pretzel sticks.
Set on wax or parchment paper
Before chocolate dries press two candies into it for "eyes"

Let the chocolate dry and you are done!

Freeze grapes and use as ice cubes in red kool-aid for a spooky "eyeball" drink to go with these snacks!
