When compiling roundups like this I always try including my kids and Tyler was extremely vocal about his excitement towards these scary yet delicious looking treats.

This year is all about these pumpkin-flavored Caramels made in a skeleton mold.
9 – Pumpkin and Cat Peanut Butter Balls
Pumpkin and Cat Peanut Butter Balls by The Monday Box are not only delicious but so simple to recreate with your own family. Both of my children love peanut butter flavored treats and they can easily make these without limited help from me.
