Halloween Yogurt Bark – yogurt bark is always a snack favorite around here and this googly-eyed twist on it is perfect for the spook-filled weeks ahead. Get your littles in the kitchen to help you decorate so they can see (no pun intended) that the holiday can be just as fun when it’s not candy-filled.
