The Cutest Addition to Shane’s Spooky Kitchen
These spooky mouth cookies were such a fun addition to Shane’s Spooky Kitchen—and I love that the idea came entirely from my niece! She and Shane had the best time decorating the cookies together, adding marshmallow teeth, and deciding exactly how much “blood” each mouth needed. They turned out so cute and delicious, and they’re proof that Halloween treats don’t have to be complicated to create a special memory with the kids.
