Boo Basket? What’s a Boo Basket? Well, let me tell you!
A Boo Basket is a secret basket filled with Halloween goodies. You set it in front of your neighbor’s door, ring the doorbell – and then you RUN! Make sure to put the poem in with the Boo Basket so they know to pass it along to another person.
Here is the Boo Basket I put together:
Here are some of the treats that I put inside (but really you can fill your baskets with ANYTHING!)
Candied Popcorn:
Recipe:
1 tbsp – coconut oil
1/4 cup – popcorn seeds
1 -2 squares of chocolate almond bark
1 -2 squares of white almond bark
1/4 cup – Reese Pieces
Directions:
I used the Nostalgia SP660SS Stainless Steel Stir-Pop 6-Quart Popcorn Maker, and I LOVE it!
-
Start by getting out a cookie sheet and putting wax paper on it. Then set it aside.
-
Put your coconut oil and your popcorn in the machine.
-
While that’s popping – melt your chocolate squares, if using the microwave make sure to check the chocolate every 20-30 seconds and stir.
-
Once popcorn is done and chocolate is melted – lay popcorn on the cookie sheet in one even layer and then add the chocolate and Reese Pieces to the popcorn
-
Then I put mine in the refrigerator to harden up. (That’s optional)
-
Break into pieces, put in cute bags and enjoy!!!
Chocolate Covered Marshmallows:
I found these cute little ghost Marshmallows at Walmart and thought these would be fun to use.
-
I just used the same almond bark, as the popcorn, and dipped the marshmallows into it. And while the chocolate was still wet I added Reese Pieces for the eyes and bone sprinkles as a bow tie.
Chocolate Boo Bark:
Recipe:
1 package – Chocolate Almond Bark
6 squares – White Chocolate Almond Bark
Kit Kats
Reese Pieces
Sprinkles
Directions:
-
Start with a cookie sheet covered with wax paper
-
Chop Chocolate Almond bark and put in a sauce pan over medium heat
-
Put the White chocolate squares in a bowl and into the Microwave – make sure to check it every couple seconds.
-
Once the chocolate in the saucepan is melted pour it on the wax paper and smooth it out into one even layer.
-
While still melted, add the white chocolate, candies, and sprinkles.
-
Put it all into the refrigerator and wait about an hour for it to completely dry.
-
Once solid – break it into pieces and bag it up.
This is a really fun recipe – and you can get really creative: try adding pretzels, nuts, seeds, or peanut butter. Really the possibilities are endless.
Once all of my treats were done, I added them to my Boo Basket, with a little more candy and maybe a few tricks. 😉 Happy Halloween!!!
