Taking the kids to a pumpkin patch can be great fun, but so can creating your own pumpkin patch. Especially when it’s a sweet edible version.
A seasonal take on the classic crispy cake, this easy-peasy Halloween treat can be whipped up in around ten minutes, using just a few ingredients. Plus, the kids can muck in without causing too much chaos in the kitchen. We love this easy recipes from cool blog The Magnolia Mamas

6 cups rice crispies
5 cups mini marshmallows
3 tablespoons butter

Crushed chocolate biscuits for bed of dirt – Oreos work well

Crush chocolate biscuits on a large dish, before placing the pumpkins in their bed of dirt.
