Need a fun idea for a birthday party? Kids are thrilled with a silly monster birthday party theme. The monsters are colorful, imaginative and not scary at all. A kid could easily conquer them. Moms enjoy the silly monster theme, too. The monsters are colorful, imaginative, and the decorations are not scary at all because there’s not just one way to make a monster. Anything goes. Just add google eyes and a few fun treats on the dessert table—like Monster Eyes Pretzel Bites—and you’re good to go. These treats would be great for a Halloween party, too.

Were you afraid of monsters in the dark when you were young? When I was little, I was afraid to let my feet stick out under the covers when I went to bed. It just seemed like Something was under the bed at night. It wasn’t logical. If Something were there…how would those flimsy covers protect me? Funny kid thinking. I spent a lot of hot, summer nights covered up for no reason!

Must be lots of kids think Something is lurking under the bed, or in the closet. Why else would a movie about silly monsters become wildly successful? And why would kids so enjoy a party with a silly monster theme?

Ha-ha Silly Monster. I could eat you up.

MONSTER EYES PRETZEL BITES

Pretzel Snaps
Yellow Candy Melts (or whatever colors match your décor)
Blue Candy Melts
Candy Eyes (small size)

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Place your pretzels on a baking sheet.
Place a candy melt in the middle of each pretzel.
Bake in oven for 5 minutes or until candy begins to melt (this goes quickly so keep an eye on it).
Immediately add a candy eye to each pretzel. Do this while the candy melts are still soft enough to press the candy eyes into.
Let cool.
Serve and enjoy.
