There's a Monster under the Bed

“It was a one-eyed one-horned flying purple people eater.” The one way to get into the Halloween spirit is by singing lots of Halloween songs including the People Eater song or the Monster Mash! Monsters are all about the Halloween season. So many scary movies are showed especially during this time of year and which they all include monsters. Some of them are actually pretty scary but others are quite funny with how scary they were supposed to be. I personally think horror movies are scary at first, but then ends up being hilarious instead.

                While going out or even handing out candy on a Halloween night is always fun to see all the unique costumes out there especially all the different versions of monsters out there. It reminds me of all the costumes that I once wore for Halloween was I was a kid. I loved dressing up for the holiday as well as the different kinds of treats that were handed out dealing with the holidays. One of my favorite kinds of treats would have to be Monster cookies (not monster cookies with all this candy in them; I’m talking about cookies shaped like monsters). They are a regular sugar cookie but with so much frosting piled on top with little chocolate chips as the eyes. You can get the store bought anywhere, but you can only get the freshly homemade cookies from your own home. My mom bakes the best monster cookies ever! She always adds her own little taste to them by sprinkling on some extra sprinkles or even some unique designs.

                Not only can monsters be formed within cookies, but also in other Halloween treats including my mom’s famous ghost cookies (peanut butter crackers with melted white chocolate whip drizzled over them) or her mummy pretzels (same thing but instead of crackers, she uses the longer stick pretzels). There are so many different treats you can make for the holidays incorporating the Halloween spirit into it! Ghosts, mummies, and monsters are everywhere so beware!!
