Monster Meatball Sliders for Halloween

This time of year brings out the whimsy in all of us. The beautiful changing leaves, cool breeze and everywhere you look you see pumpkins galore. All are subtle reminders that the holidays aren't very far away. To most kids, this time of year brings about dreaming of the fun they'll have going door to door dressed as their favorite characters and collecting candy from friends and family. Food is the last thing on their minds.

Tips for Making Monster Meatball Sliders

I'd like to show you how you can host a creative feast for your cute little monsters giving them something to eat before they head out to collect and indulge on all things sweet. Kids always enjoy craft projects and this is one they get to eat when they're finished.

• Set up your kitchen table as a station with edible ingredients for them to create their own little monster meatball sliders.
• Use things like ripe and green olives for eyes and lettuce for hair. Cheese can also be turned into a mouth and the kids can use cookie cutters to make them the shape they want.
• They'll love using delicious Kings Hawaiian Original Hawaiian Sweet Rolls for the bread.
• Kids love eating things they've made themselves and King's Hawaiian rolls fit into tiny hands perfectly.
• It's a low stress and fun way to start your evening and the adults will love it too.
