Stuffed Cockroach Snacks for the Perfect Halloween Party
The right snacks make the party, and if you are having a spooky, creepy Halloween party, Stuffed Cockroach Snacks are a must! You will know they are perfectly normal, stuffed dates, but your guests will reach for one and give out a frightening scream! I love making Stuffed Cockroach Snacks not only for Halloween, but any time of year for a fantastic snack.
Preparing Dates for Stuffed Cockroach Snacks
Usually I purchase pitted dates for Stuffed Cockroach Snacks, but mistakenly picked up whole dates this time. Oops! The mistake was quickly fixed though, as dates are easy to pit with a sharp knife. Simply slide the knife along the skin and through the meat of the date lengthwise, then open the date slightly. The pit will be a long, oval seed in the middle of the date that you can easily remove.

Stuffed Cockroach Snacks for Other Times of the Year
Stuffed Cockroach Snacks aren’t just for Halloween. You can have these wonderful snacks at any holiday. I have stuffed them with just the nuts and rolled them in confectioner’s sugar for a sweet treat, as well as with a bit of hot pepper jelly for a sweet and spicy snack. If you like, you can freeze Stuffed Cockroach Snacks for later too! They will stay in a freezer for about a month and taste just as fresh as if you made them today.

May 10, 2017 at 7:32 pmI simply had to say thanks once more. I do not know the things I might have achieved in the absence of those creative ideas shared by you relating to such theme. It previously was the distressing condition in my circumstances, but considering a new professional tactic you treated that forced me to cry over happiness. Extremely grateful for this service as well as have high hopes you really know what a great job you are always getting into teaching people through the use of your blog post. I am sure you have never got to know any of us.
