Ingredients
Serves 8
* Plain or butter-flavored vegetable-oil cooking spray
* 24 assorted large flour tortillas, such as plain, whole wheat, and sun-dried tomato
* Coarse salt
* 3 pounds ripe Hass avocados, (about 7), pitted. peeled, and cut into chunks
* 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice, (about 3 limes)
* 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Using a few Halloweeninspired cookie cutters, cut shapes from tortillas. Arrange as many shapes as can fit in a single layer on oiled sheet. Coat tortillas with cooking spray, and season with salt. Bake until slightly darkened and crisp, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool. Repeat with remaining tortilla shapes, using a clean, cooled baking sheet.

3/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup margarine
2 teaspoons cold water
2 5/8 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup marshmallows
5 quarts plain popped popcorn
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a saucepan over medium heat, combine the corn syrup, margarine, cold water, confectioners' sugar and marshmallows. Heat and stir until the mixture comes to a boil. Carefully combine the hot mixture with the popcorn, coating each kernel.
2. Grease hands with vegetable shortening and quickly shape the coated popcorn into balls before it cools. Wrap with cellophane or plastic wrap and store at room temperature.
6 tablespoons white sugar,
divided

DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Spread pumpkin seeds in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toast for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until dry and toasted. Larger seeds may take longer.
2. In a large bowl, stir together 2 tablespoons of white sugar, salt, and pumpkin pie spice. Set aside. Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pumpkin seeds and sprinkle the remaining sugar over them. Stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar melts, about 45 seconds. Pour seeds into the bowl with the spiced sugar and stir until coated. Allow to cool before serving. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Pin the Stem on the Pumpkin Game
On a large piece of paper, draw a picture of a pumpkin minus the stem or use
construction paper to create a pumpkin. Make stems out of construction paper
and have the children stick on the pumpkin stem! (Can also do noses!)
Pumpkin Passing Game
Materials Needed:
Mini Pumpkins
Music
Paint or Markers
Instructions:
There are no losers in this game if you make sure you have enough mini
pumpkins for everyone! As each player gets 'out', give them a small pumpkin
and let them go to a designated area and decorate it using markers or paint.
This game is played the same way as 'Hot Potato'. Everyone who is playing
sits or stands in a circle. Start the music and start passing a small
pumpkin around the circle. If you have quite a few people, you can pass 2 or
more pumpkins at a time.
The pumpkin travels around the circle of people until the music suddenly
stops.
The person who is holding the pumpkin when the music stops is 'out' and
leaves the circle.
Start the music and pumpkin passing again and continue until there's only
one person left.
Halloween Pumpkin Patch Hunting Game
"This is a fun game for children's Halloween parties.
Divide the children into two teams. Try to make sure the teams are equal.
Draw little pumpkins on orange construction paper. Draw on faces with
markers. Cut the pumpkins out. Make about 21 or so. Make sure that it is an
odd number.
Hide the pumkins around the house. Have the two teams look around the house to try and find the pumpkins. After about fifteen minutes (or any set amount
of time), call the teams in. Whichever team has the most pumpkins, wins!
There should be a prize for the winning team."

Thumbprint Spiders
In one corner of a plain sheet of construction paper, draw a spider web with a marker. Use a black washable stamp pad or black paint and have your child put a thumbprint on the paper. Draw on the legs(8), eyes, etc. and connect the spider to the rest of the web.
Halloween Phantom
We love to do this!! We even made up a Leprechaun one so we could do it twice. I did a chain letter one for our family delivered by an unsuspecting postal employee. Mewah haha
Make a small sign to put on your neighbor's door that says, "We've Been Boo'd". Maybe have your kids draw a picture of a ghost on the sign for added fun and color.
Next, print off the following poem and stick a copy in each goodie bag to explain the surprise and to make sure the fun gets spreads to all!
Since this is the time for goblins and bats,
For Halloween spirits, for ghosts and cats,
For weird happenings and witches' brew,
These are the things that I wish for you...
May the only spirit you chance to meet
Be the spirit of love and friends warm and sweet.
May the only goblin that comes your way
Be this Neighborhood Phantom you must give away.
"Tis much better to give than to receive" goes the old verse
And something this easy won't empty your purse.
It's your turn to pass along a treat and a BOO
Because now the Neighborhood Phantom is little old YOU!
So by this time tomorrow, pick three friends sweet,
And give to them each a Halloween treat.
You have only one day - so you'll need to hurry -
Leave a treat on the doorstep, ring the bell and then scurry!
Signed,
The Phantom!
So fill up your goodie bag, fill a few Balloons with Helium, and tie them to the handles for a boo-rific surprise! After dark, maybe right before bedtime, dress your kids in all black and sneak out for some crazy, quiet, sneaky fun! Here's how it works: Creep up to your friend's door and attach the ghost sign to the front door, leave the goodie bag with the poem at the step, ring the doorbell and RUN LIKE CRAZY! Do this to 3 or 4 neighbors in one evening. The idea is for everyone in the neighborhood to get "boo'd" and besides, it's always a festive mystery to find out who did the "booing" and where it started.
