Create three festive paper cup characters using colored cups and cardstock: a bat, Frankenstein, and pumpkin. Each cup requires cutting the bottom, adding a matching cardstock circle, and decorating with facial features and accessories. Finish by mummifying Crunch Fun Size Bars with gauze and googly eyes, then perch them on the cups for a charming treat display.

Directions

Start with a purple paper cup. Cut off the bottom and trace the top rim onto purple cardstock, then glue that circle to the cup's open bottom. Use a black marker to draw bat eyes and a mouth. Cut two small pink circles for cheeks and glue them on. From light purple cardstock, cut two bat ears and smaller inner ears; glue them together and attach to the cup. For wings, cut two shapes from dark purple cardstock, add light purple line details, glue the wing parts together, then attach the completed wings to the cup.

Use a green paper cup. Cut off the bottom and trace the top rim onto green cardstock, glue that circle to the bottom. From black cardstock, cut hair shapes and glue onto the top of the cup. Cut two pink circles for cheeks and glue them. Use a black marker to draw a smile and stitch scars on the face.

Start with an orange paper cup. Cut off the bottom and trace the top rim onto orange cardstock, glue that circle to the bottom. Draw eyes on the cup with a black marker. Cut two pink circles for cheeks and glue them. For the mouth, cut a black cardstock semicircle and a smaller pink half circle for a tongue; glue the tongue onto the black semicircle, then glue the assembled mouth onto the cup.

Cut small strips of gauze. Using food-safe glue, attach two plastic googly eyes to the top of each Crunch Fun Size Bar. Continue with food-safe glue, wrapping the gauze strips in a zigzag pattern around the bar below the eyes. Once all treat cups are finished, place one mummy Crunch bar on top of each cup.
