Every year I love to participate in school Halloween festivities as Mad Maxson the mad scientist! We’ve always tried to find new ways to engage the kids with fun, cool and tasty treats (we have five in K-5 this year!). This year, I thought I’d share some fun and simple recipes with you.

2. Pulverize Oreos.
3. Layer Oreos and Pudding in Clear Cup.
4. Lay Pumpkin vine (Sour Punch Straw) in the center.
