Wordless Wednesday: It’s Spider Kitty! #Halloween #CutePets

Spider Kitty Moe!

By: Erin

It’s Halloween Season and what’s cuter than seeing your adorable pets dressed up to celebrate the occasion? My cat Moe always loved to dress up in his special Spider Man costume, sit in front of the door and wait for the tick-or-treaters to arrive to tell him how stinking adorable he was. He also enjoyed saving us from that evil red dot that would float around on the floor. Because it surely would have hurt us all if Spider Kitty Moe weren’t here to save us all from it! šŸ˜‰ So here he is to save the day, it’s Spider Man (Kitty) Moe!

It’s Fall! Which means everything pumpkin spice and everything nice, right? In order to make some of my favorite fall treats though, I need to do some shopping to stock up! Luckily, Albertsons is almost my next door neighbor and is my go-to store for all of my favorite snacks. Right now they are having a special Stock Up Sale through 10/13Ā that you won’t want to miss. I was able to stock up on all of my favorite General Mills products to make one of my all time favorite fall treats, a Fall Harvest Trail Mix!Ā AlbertsonsĀ made it easy for me to stock up to make this most delicious treat.

I love making this! It’s the perfect snack to make to share at the barn, for a special after school snack, after the gym, a boy or girl scouts meeting, or if you play a team sport and need a snack to fuel up that the whole team will love. It is just so festive and fun to eat!

StockUpSaleAlbertsonsSome of the specials to stock up on include: Honey Nut Cherrios 12oz box- $1.88, Cinnamon Toast Crunch- $1.69 and Nature Valley Crunchy Oats N Honey Granola Bars- $2.48.

Once I had everything I needed from the store, I was ready to get the party started with this trail mix!

Fall-Pumpkin-Mix

Here’s everything you’ll need to make yours! The best thing I love about it is that you can add whatever else you like or take out whatever you want as your taste buds and needs desire. You can also play around with the amounts of each item that you are adding as well if you need to make a larger or smaller batch. It also does not matter too much the order in which you add each ingredient into the bowl, I’d just recommend putting in the larger items first as the smaller ones (like the sunflower and pumpkin seeds) will sink to the bottom and not mix as well if they are added in first.

Fall Harvest Trail Mix

Honey Nut Cherrios- 1 1/2 cups

Cinnamon Toast Chrunch- 1 1/2 cups

Nature Valley Crunchy Granola Bars- 1 pouch (2 bars)

In a pumpkin shaped bowl. This one holds the entire batch I just made and is ready to go! You can find bowls like this just about anywhere this time of year and for under $10.

Halloween Treat Bags

Or if you need something for on the go, in the car, to pass out as a snack at a meeting, after a game or practice for the team, then get some fall or Halloween themed bags (they’re super affordable, I got a package of 20 bags for just under a buck!) and fill them up! I used mine as an after school snack and to pass out as a special treat at the barn!

Fall-Trail-Mix-Packaging

How adorable is this?! One last way I packaged up my Fall Harvest Trail Mix was into these cute Halloween Bat Coffins. They easily fit a one cup serving with room for more. Now it’s time to enjoy this tasty after school snack! Yum!
