This is a guest post by the GG sisters; keep reading for spooktacular snacks your kids are sure to love!

Every Halloween we always find ourselves in a rush to have dinner ready and get the kids out the door so they can go trick-or-treating. This Halloween, we decided to change things up and create an easy Halloween-themed dinner that is not only fun but super delicious! Read on to see how to make our Spooky Pulled Chicken Dip & Jack-O-Lantern Quesadillas (using Maple Lodge Farms® Fresh From The Farm® chicken of course!).

Jack -O- Lantern Quesadilla’s

Ingredients:

• ½ a pack of Maple Lodge Farms® Fresh From The Farm® Chicken Breasts
• Mini Tortillas
• 2 tablespoons of salsa
• 1 half of an onion
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon of pepper
• ¼ cup of olive oil
• 1 pack of taco seasoning
• 1 cup of shredded cheese

Directions:

1. Place chicken breasts, salsa, onion, salt, pepper, olive oil, and taco seasoning for 3 to 4 hours in slow- cooker.
2. At 3 hours and 15 minutes mark, grab a fork and start shredding the kitchen with a fork and then let it cook for remainder of time in slow-cooker.
3. While chicken is slow -cooking start making pumpkins out of your tortillas. Tip: Use scissors, it’s much easier.
4. Now it’s time to create. Have one flat tortilla (not cut) shell and drop some shredded chicken on it, then add shredded cheese so it’s all orange. Then add cut out pumpkin.
5. Place in oven at 400 F for 10 minutes.
