What does it mean when you boo someone?
Have you ever been Boo’d at Halloween time? It is a fun idea where you leave a treat on a doorstep with a note that says they have been Boo’d and to pass it on. Kind of like paying it forward.
One of our printable tags is one you can attach to a bag of this snack mix to go out and Boo some of your friends and neighbors. Booing someone never felt so good!
What’s a good snack to bring to a party?
This snack mix is always a hit at any Halloween party. You can make this throughout the year by taking out the eye candy and pumpkins.
