Fall is in the air which can only mean one thing-Halloween is coming! In preparation for the spookiest night of the year, I'm sharing a recipe for scarecrow graham crackers. These fun treats are perfect for a party or just to enjoy with your family. Plus, they're really easy to make so you can have them ready in no time. Enjoy!
Do I have to use graham crackers?
You don't have to use graham crackers, but they are a good option because they are made from whole grain wheat and contain a modest amount of sugar. Other options include using club crackers, saltines, or ritz crackers.
What can I use as an alternative to candy corn?
One alternative for candy corn in Halloween scarecrow treats is to use fall candy corn or you could use orange and black jelly beans. Another option is to use small pieces of starbursts or candy bars that are either orange or black.
