Halloween Party Plan: Mini-Trifles & Monster Goo

October 12, 2015 4 Comments

This Halloween Party Plan has everything you need to put on a fun party for the kids!

It is time for a Halloween Party Plan! This Halloween Party Plan all started with our sweet treat. I picked up Betty Crocker™ Fudge Brownies, Devil’s Food Cake and Target exclusively packaged Halloween PEEPS® multi-pack at my local Target store.

I found the Halloween PEEPS® multi-pack in the front of my Target store around all the Halloween themed foods.

PEEPS® Mini-Trifles were on the menu for this party.

Ingredients Needed To Make the mini-Trifles in this Halloween Party Plan:

Betty Crocker™ Fudge Brownies

Betty Crocker™  Devil’s Food Cake

Whip Cream (2 – 8 oz. containers)

Graham Cracker Crumbs (from two packages of graham crackers)

Halloween PEEPS® multi-pack

Halloween Straws (cut regular straws in half to get more straws)

Clear Cups

Directions To Make The Mini Trifles:

First, cook the brownies and the cake as per the directions on the back of each box. Let cool. Crush two packages of graham crackers. (I do this with a rolling-pin and a gallon sized plastic storage bag.)

This Mini-Trifle recipe is best to set up like an assembly line. It is a great recipe to get the kids involved with too. We had them all done in no time.

Many hands make light work, right?! 🙂

Once the cake and brownies are cooled, use a fork to crumble them up.

Now it is time to build the trifles.

Start with graham cracker crumbs in the bottom of the cup. Then, add some brownie crumbles. The next layer is whip cream. On top of that goes cake crumbles. Add another layer of whip cream and then a sprinkling of cake mix on top. Stick your Halloween straw in the bottom of the PEEPS® and stick it in the trifle.

Next up, is the activity for the Halloween party plan. This is not only an activity the kids can do at the Halloween party, but it is also a take-home gift! Double duty = happy planning mom!

Supplies Needed To Make Monster Goo:

2 – 4 oz. bottles of white glue

1 tsp. Borax

1/2 c. warm water

Small Glass Jars With Lids 

Googly Eyes

(This will give you about three “portions” of Monster Goo so adjust the recipe for as many as you need. It is very popular so over-estimate. 😉 )

Add the Borax to the 1/2 c. warm water and stir until it is dissolved. Pour the two bottles of glue into another bowl and then fill each glue bottle with warm water, shake well and dump into the bowl with the glue. Add food coloring to the glue and stir until everything is combined. Then, add the Borax mixture to the glue mixture and let the kids mix it up.

It will become a “goo” as they work with it.

I bought glass jars from the Dollar Spot at Target for their Monster Goo.

Each child put their Monster Goo in their jar and added some monster eyes to it.

These jars went home with them for hours of Monster Goo fun!

I don’t know what was more cute; the Monster Goo jars or the PEEPS® Mini-Trifles.

What do you think?

The great thing about shopping at Target for a party is the Dollar Spot. They have so many inexpensive items there that can be used for so many things.

I bought wire pumpkins from the Dollar Spot and they were perfect for holding straws and silverware! They could be a centerpiece on their own.
