How to Make DIY Halloween Snack Cups
STEP 2: Add the napkin
Place a folded napkin inside the cup so the color shows through the clear plastic.
- Orange napkin for pumpkin

Pour in your favorite Halloween treats. I love using Halloween Trail Mix, but you can use popcorn, goldfish, gummies, or whatever your kids love.
