3 Ways to Celebrate Halloween

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of HERSHEY® for SheSpeaks. All opinions are 100% mine.

We are excited to celebrate Halloween, and even start some new traditions. Here are some fun new ways we came up with to celebrate.

Cookie Decorating


Decorating cookies is a fun way to celebrate the days leading up to Halloween. It's also a great activity for the whole family. Just bake up some sugar cookies, grab some icing and HERSHEY® candy from Walmart and let the kids decorate!

I stocked up on all of our favorite treats at Walmart and made a colorful candy board. The variety candy bags I picked up with KIT KAT® Bars, REESE’S Peanut Butter Cups, and the assorted HERSHEY® candies was perfect for having all of our favorites. I unwrapped them and put them on a board in rainbow order to make it easy for the kids to grab their choice for decorating their cookies. It would also be a pretty display at a Halloween get-together wouldn't it? 

Boo Baskets

Boo baskets are a great way to connect with friends. I shared this on Instagram but I wanted to share it here too. To “boo” someone, fill up a cute bucket with goodies like Halloween HERSHEYs and REESES or those decorated cookies you made and drop it off on a friend’s doorstep. Ring the doorbell, and then run! You can even boo your kids at home as a special Halloween treat. I love doing this with my kids on October 1st each year. 

Trick or Treat Cookies

Here's another fun cookie idea that has become a tradition in this house the day after Halloween each year. This is the best way to use up your extra Halloween or Trick or Treating candy and it couldn't be easier. 


1. Make or buy sugar cookie dough

2. Chop up your chocolate candies like KIT KAT bars and HERSHEY bars into bite size pieces. You can also use candy corn and candies like REESES Pieces too.

3. Bake cookies according to the recipe or package. As soon as you pull them out of the oven, press in the candies. Let cool and serve!

I hope this inspires you to celebrate Halloween this year. Put on a costume, snap some pics, and try some of these ideas. I promise it will put a smile on anyone's face. My best advice is to make sure you stock up on Halloween goodies early so you don’t miss all the good stuff! Happy Halloween!!
