Stacey Solomon warns parents with young kids over DIY halloween snack

Stacey Solomon took to social media today to warn parents of a festive hazard after sharing a fun kids snack.

The halloween themed DIY treat consisted of white chocolate covered pretzels and marshmallows to resemble a skeleton. The tv personality posted a video of her daughter, Rose, enjoying the snack before sharing a close up of their lovely creation. Very quickly after sharing, the 33-year-old returned to her stories because parents were sharing serious concerns, describing the treat as a choking hazard.
