This document provides instructions for making three Halloween treats:
1) Butterfinger balls made of peanut butter, butter, powdered sugar, chopped Butterfinger bars, and white chocolate coating with M&M eyes.
2) "Daddy long legs" cupcakes made by frosting cupcakes with sprinkles, adding licorice eyes and legs.
3) Green "worms" made by pouring a gelatin mixture into straws, chilling, and pushing the gelatin out of the straws to form worms.
