Halloween has always been one of my favorite holidays. Partly it’s because the kids always loved it and we would have parties for them and their cousins when they were little. The other part of it is that my old job made a huge deal out of the holiday too.
Every year we would have “BOO Buddies” where names were passed out and everyone had an anonymous BOO Buddy. The week leading up to Halloween, all those participating would decorate desks/offices and put Halloween items on our BOO’s desk. It was always so much fun to see everyone sneaking around to put things on their coworkers desks. The event ended with a Halloween party for all the staffers. Of course my favorite part was the food!
Now that I’m working with just three ladies, I am starting the tradition again! This Halloween I will be BOO’ing these gals by making BOO Kits for them. For a special treat I am filling mummy jars I made with MARS treats. The mini candies that come in the Mars Mixed Minis Bag you find in the Halloween candy section at Walmart fit perfectly into these cute Halloween jars. The jars I used are jars that I recycled from my tea. Here’s how you can get crafty and make these cute Halloween Mummy jars:

Ok, if you really want it decadent, drizzle some warm chocolate fudge sauce and caramel on top. Heaven in a dessert.
