Benjamin's Party Treats!

so aside from finding ideas online and actually making them, I can't take much credit for the treats for the party! But everything was fairly easy to make, so I'm going to post the links I found from Pinterest if you want to try them out! The biggest hits were the brownie balls and the peanutbutter (i added chocolate chips) rolo cookies!

Monster Cake (purple):
the monster cake was actually a mess up batch of the colorful cookies! thats what happens when you read the directions on the box to make cake and not the directions for the actual treat.. but the cake came out really well, and i even added some eyes to make it blend right in with the treat theme!

Celery Monsters: 
the celery monsters were a hit, and so simple! just add peanut butter and eyes for decoration, the kids loved them! I also put out some fresh fruits since there were lots of treats and lots of little ones running around!

Goodie Bags!:
the goodie bags were so fun for me, i had picked benjamins birthday party theme months in advance, so whenever i saw anything close to monsters or the colors scheme, i would just buy it! There were different types of candy, a bunch of different little toys to keep younger kids busy/entertained, monster tattoos, monster toys, and i even had a monster paintbook if kids were getting restless to color in at the table.
