Another tradition that our family has, is to make Haunted Houses while the men are at the Priesthood session of conference. The kids love and look forward to it every year. There is just something about having frosting and candy right there in front of you without restrictions. I guess I can't blame them. It is a bit messy but definitely worth it. We cut boxes to the perfect size and hot glue them to a piece of cardboard. We use graham crackers for the sides and roofs and spread frosting for the glue. We also use tubes of frosting to fill in cracks and stick the candy. We always have the usual assortment of Halloween candy but this year we realized that the 100 calorie snacks were the perfect size and shape to decorate the houses.

The finished products. In years past we have given out prizes to the Spookiest, Cutest, etc.
The moms always want to make their own Haunted House but we are too busy helping the kids. We decided it would be a fun date night with several couples making them.
