Halloween haunted house.
Here is another entry into the “you know you shouldn’t eat this but you are going to anyway because it is so darned cute or at least the kids will eat it” category.
This is put together with nothing more than pop tarts and a number of different frosted sugared up cookies, but gosh, it is so cute!
Kids are home from school and you have a house full of rowdy monsters begging for a Halloween treat? Why not sugar them up and entertain them at the same time?
Hey, you’re ready for the sugar rush, right? After all, that is what Halloween is all about.
When I saw this shot, I knew (along with the Frankentart from earlier) I had to yoink it, knowing it would go down on my list of “things I would have to try some day to make for my nephews and then send them immediately home so that their Mom and Dad could live with the fallout instead of Aunt and Uncle”.
Hey, Auntie is no dummy. She knows. Sugar them up and send them on to the next stop!
As for the wee ghosties and the bats, those can be found in the baking aisle of your grocery store or, failing that, in the cake decorating section of your local craft store. I have seen so many of those sugar crafts stocked up both in the stores and online. Cute, but I doubt they are for mouth treats. I would be more likely to replace them with a licorice goodie or two.
But what the hey, I realize that the ghostie and bat were selected, not for their foraging pleasures, but for their appearances, so their dining appeal probably doesn’t really count for a hill of beans. But at least it looks really neat.
By the way, if you like this haunted house, you should check out the Halloweenbread House.

Wow, I never thought I would see pop tarts used to make something so cool.
