The Quest for a Cheap, Easy, and Sugary Halloween Snack

I love Charlie's preschool for so many reasons, but one is that when they have parties, they have parents sign up to bring healthy treats or unhealthy treats.

Since I am such a fun, super hip mom, I go with the unhealthy every time.

Twice a year (for their birthdays), I hire a girl from church to make cupcakes however the kids want. (Side note: holler if you want her contact info - she is super talented and affordable!) Last year Charlie wanted pirates:

 And this year we did ladybugs for Miss Lucy:

And as much as I wanted to call and order custom cupcakes again, I really felt like I should be able to do this on my own. So I scoured Pinterest and found this. It looked easy enough. All I needed to do was get donuts, vampire teeth and chocolate chips. How hard could it be? Well, it turns out that two days before Halloween, Michaels, Party America, Walgreens, and Target had NO vampire teeth. I finally found some at Dillon's (I was giving up after Dillon's, btw), so tonight after Lucy went to bed, Charlie and I got to work:

 I bought the day-old donuts and saved $5!

I love the way they turned out, but more importantly, so did Charlie!
