Instructions

Stay Awake

1 Decorate each plastic bag with pumpkin faces, bats or skulls. Alternatively write something along the lines of ‘Inside: bugs, mud, scabs and dandruff!’

2 Into each bag, place 3 almonds, 3 cashew nuts, 1 teaspoon pumpkin seeds, 1 teaspoon raisins, 1 tablespoon Special K, 1 teaspoon desiccated coconut.

3 Seal each bag with a piece of ribbon and hand out at the door.

Variations

You can add 1-2 dark chocolate chips, cacao nibs or carob bits to each bag.
Corn flakes and All-Bran flakes work well as substitutes for Special K.
Instead of bags, try sheer plastic disposable gloves.
