These Monsters are inspired by a Roman recipe I saw on social media and may have seen when I was a child too. They are so easy to make, use simple ingredients and can be stored easily too. We enjoyed these as a little treat after and dinner but they can be eaten anytime. They also make a great snack or lunchbox treat. 👩🍳 Thank you for visiting my blog, and I hope you enjoy making and eating these Halloween treats as much as I do! Happy Halloween! 🎃👻
