Halloween Monster Munch

October 9, 2015 by Lisa Park + Leave a Comment

Monster Munch Halloween Treat

Halloween will be here soon, and one of our inexpensive family activities that we do together is to make a treat and watch a kid-friendly Halloween movie. This Halloween Monster Munch is easy to make and you can mix almost any type of Halloween candy with it. And the edible candy eyes are a fun addition to the treat. Here’s how to make the Halloween Monster Munch:

Ingredients
  • ½ cup popcorn kernels
  • ½ chocolate baking bar (2 oz.)
  • ½ cup candy corn
  • ½ cup M&M's candy corn
  • ½ cup autumn-colored M&M's
  • Edible candy eyes (from Walmart or Hobby Lobby)
Instructions
  1. Pop the popcorn. This can be done on the stove by adding 3 Tablespoons canola, peanut or coconut oil and 3 popcorn kernels to a large pot. Cover and cook over medium-high heat until all 3 kernels pop. Remove the pot from the heat, add the rest of the popcorn kernels, cover, and wait 30 seconds. Place the pot back on the heat. Cook and shake the pot until the popping slows down. Set aside. After a few minutes, remove lid.
  2. Place waxed paper on a 13x9 baking sheet and layer popcorn to cover baking sheet.
  3. Melt baking bar in microwave on high for 30 seconds, then stir. Microwave another 30 seconds and stir again. Continue heating for 10 seconds and stirring until completely melted.
  4. Pour melted bar into a piping or ziploc bag. Snip the tip off the bag and drizzle onto popcorn.
  5. Add the candy on top of the popcorn. Drizzle more of the melted bar on top.
  6. Allow to cool, then break into pieces.

Staying on a grocery budget can be challenging, bu Staying on a grocery budget can be challenging, but your monthly grocery budget has an impact on your overall financial situation, so it’s important to learn how to stay on a grocery budget.

1. Determine a grocery budget that will work for your family.

A recommended starting point for a grocery budget is $125 per family member per month. But take into consideration your family situation, where you live, and your dietary needs. Every family is different and will have a different grocery budget.

2. Break your monthly grocery budget down into how much you can spend each week.

This makes it easier to know how much money you can spend weekly when you go into the grocery store.

3. Use cash to control spending

You are less likely to add extra items to your shopping cart and are more likely to stick with the items on your list so you have enough cash to cover the purchases.

4. Keep track and review spending

Keep your receipts and write down how much money you spend. Keep track of purchases either every time you go to the grocery store or at the end of each week.

5. Keep trying, keep practicing, and adjust as needed

Staying on a grocery budget takes work every month, so keep trying, keep working at it, and adjust things as needed.

Having freezer meals on hand for busy days is so n Having freezer meals on hand for busy days is so nice. Many times, while I am making dinner, I'll double the batch and eat one meal for dinner and then freeze one meal for later. This Spaghetti Casserole is one of those meals.

I don't always have one day where I can make 10+ freezer meals at one time. I found it's easier and more manageable for me to double the batch of a meal that I'm already cooking for my family and to freeze that second meal that I know would be a good freezer meal too.
