I love when the Halloween decorations hit the stores. Well, maybe I don’t love when they show up (um, in July I’m usually thinking margaritas and ice cream, not costumes and pumpkin), but I love walking through the aisles of Michael’s and Target and planning what I’m going to do to my house come October. I had it all planned out this year. I was going to have everything painted, prepped, and ready to go come October 1st. Then I would decorate and photograph and post all my cute inspiration here. It was gonna be great.
And then we found out the short-sale home we were buying had gone into escrow.
And that we’d be closing escrow on Halloween.
{Enter dashed Halloween dreams.}
As a result, my great decorations this year consist of three baby pumpkins on my mantel. I managed to write B-O-O on them. That’s it. I walk around my neighborhood and see all the spooky ghosts and pumpkins and spider webs and graveyards. I thought about appeasing my daughters begging and getting out the Halloween bin.
But then I thought about the look that would be on my husbands’ face if he saw that I had decorated when he is frantically packing and moving stuff to storage.
*Sigh*
So this year I’m settling for a bunch of cute Halloween treats. I figure this way, my little corner of the internets is decorated. I guess I can settle for that.
Last week I teased you about these brooms. I figure you can’t have a witch hat without a broom!
Remember that brownie pan I told you about when I made the Candy Corn Brownie Bites? I used the same pan for these brooms. Afterwards I stuck a stick in them for the broom handle (pretzels would look cute too). Then I drizzled them with melted chocolate and peanut butter melts for the broom look. Easy-peasy!
How have you decorated for Halloween? Come on and elaborate in detail. I’m living vicariously this year!

These are adorable and look so good! Definitely pinning these on my Pinterest board! We went thru our move last October so I know what you are going thru. I hated it. So this year I have been going all out, making up for not feeling like I had a fall last year!
Very Creative! I just bought the brownie mold. What a great idea for it!

@The How To Mommy
Thank you, and thanks for hosting.
These are so cute! I’m going to have to look for the pan you made them in.
@Heather
Thank you! The pan is a Wilton one, so I’m sure you can find it online. I think I’ve seen it at Michaels/Joanns but my husband got it for me at Sur la Table. Good luck!
I love them! Now I need a brownie pops pan. These look cute and delicious! Thanks for sharing on Sweet Indulgences Sunday.
