Free Printable Halloween Candy Bar Wrappers

Halloween candy has been filling supermarket shelves for a few weeks now. I usually try to buy some early so that I have enough by Halloween, but to be honest, at least half of that candy is gone by the time the big day comes. I decided that I might be less tempted to open the candy if it was wrapped all cute and ready to give out at Halloween.

I like to give the full-size candy bars to my nieces, nephews, and close friends, and save the fun-size candy bars for trick or treaters. So, I've made FREE printable Halloween candy bar wrappers in both sizes and have multiple designs to choose from!!

Free Printable Halloween Candy Bar Wrappers at artsyfartsymama #Halloween #freeprintable #printable

These would be a fun way to dress up your treats for giving out at school, sharing with friends, party favors, trick or treating, or more! There are candy bar wrappers made for both full and fun-size candy bars. They are measured to fit Hershey's and Crunch candy bars, but I'm sure they would fit other candy bars, too. Probably won't be a perfect fit, but they'd be close enough. Same for the fun-size candy bars.

Easy Pizzadillas at artsyfartsymama.com #recipe #pizza

Pizza + quesadillas = one awesome snack! My daughter loves helping "decorate" the pizzadillas, and they cook in minutes. For older kids who love to cook and want to learn to make something on their own, these pizzadillas are super simple and fun! These are also great to make for dinner on nights when you just don't want to cook and don't have the money to go out to eat.

Today I'm sharing 20 creative ideas for turning faux pumpkins into something fabulous!

Easy Chocolate Banana Bread

Easy Chocolate Banana Bread

Read more »
Are you a banana bread lover? I sure am, especially when the recipe is simple and practically fool-proof. Not only is this banana bread the easiest you'll ever make, but it's full of chocolate! We love making it just for snacking, or it makes a great dessert. Plus, you most likely already have your ingredients in your pantry.

Easy 4 Ingredient Chocolate Banana Bread at artsyfartsymama.com #recipe #bananabread

Ingredients:
Chocolate cake mix
2 eggs
3-4 medium overripe bananas
1/2-1 cup chocolate chips, nuts, etc. (optional)

Easy 4 Ingredient Chocolate Banana Bread at artsyfartsymama.com #recipe #bananabread

Directions:
  1. Smash bananas in a large bowl. I threw the whole (peeled) bananas into the KitchenAid and they were smashed in seconds.
  2. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Batter will fill two small loaf pans, or one large loaf pan. Make sure to spray pans well with nonstick cooking spray and add a little bit of flour.
  3. Bake at 350° for 35-40 minutes. The larger loaf pans may need to cook for 45-50 minutes. Test with a toothpick to check that the banana bread is cooked through.
Tips:
  • Freeze overripe bananas. Put them in a Ziploc bag (peel and all) and thaw when you're ready to use! They stay good for up to 3 months.
  • Don't have a loaf pan? No problem! You can also make this recipe in a muffin tin, cake pan, or a bundt pan. Just be sure to adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Not a chocolate fan? Try my regular Easy Banana Bread!

Toddler Wrap Skirt

My daughter is growing like a weed! I can't believe how fast she has grown out of her nice dresses and skirts. When I first saw a sample of this wrap skirt in the Pine Needles store at Gardner Village, I knew I needed to get the pattern to try out. A wrap skirt ties at the waist, so it's easily adjustable as she grows.

DIY Hello Kitty Bracelet at artsyfartsymama.com

My daughter loves jewelry. She's at the age now that she has her own "style" and is able to help create her own jewelry.  It has been so fun for the both of us, and definitely a lifesaver for me to be able to let her have something to create on her own while I'm laid up with a broken leg and not really able to help much. This bracelet coordinates with the Hello Kitty Bubblegum Necklace, but we used faceted beads from CraftProjectIdeas.com instead of the larger bubblegum beads.

There's no doubt that I love using Instagram. It's easy to use and share photos, and I can save memories shot on my phone all in one place. I've seen a lot of fun projects ideas using your own Instagram images, and wondered how to print Instagram photos from your phone easily and not costing too much to create something of my own.

My sister loves everything peacock. Coincidentally, her last name is also Peacock. Helping her with peacock-themed projects and shopping for her is always a lot of fun. I love the blues, greens, and purples in peacock color schemes, especially when there's glitter involved.
