It’s October, which means it’s basically Halloween, folks. Texas may still think it’s summer, but I (and I’m sure many of you) are ready for cool weather and orange leaves. So without further ado, here are some fun Halloween snacks to get you prepared for all the Halloween hype. It’s about to get spooky…

1. Simply stick the pretzel sticks into the smaller bottom side of the Reese’s cup!

Apple Teeth
