Halloween Prep – Day 4


Getting ready in August for Halloween may seem strange, but trust that you'll feel a whole lot better having things done in advanced, rather than scurrying around come October. And it's never too early to plan a party or to talk about food, which is why today I'm sharing a Monster Mash Popcorn recipe by Mara Campbell. This great sweet snack that kids and adults LOVE. Perfect for your Halloween party, or a Friday night family movie night.






To share the recipe, Mara created a card and stamped from our Skelanimals collection. Super cute!




On the front, she's stamped "From the kitchen of Mara Campbell." Stamping your name on your cards with one of PSA Essentials "From the kitchen of" personalized stamps gives it an extra something. Check out our online retailers and store locations for where to buy these fun stamps for cooks. Makes a great gift, too.







Leave a comment today and let us know your favorite Halloween tradition! Your comment enters you to win PSA Haunted Shack Peel & Stick pack as part of our Halloween Prep posts this week. Limit one comment per day please. Contest ends Sunday at midnight and the winner will be drawn and announced Monday morning.

  1. My favorite tradition is to have some friends over from college for what we call 'family dinner.' I open the windows (finally!!!), make taco soup, and we carve up some pumpkins.

  17. Ideally, the moment when you slip a costume (preferably homemade) on a child and they instantly become a character they set their heart on becoming. The suspension of disbelief. Flights of fancy. Pure fun. I guess making a costume is the most fun, as an adult.
