Hot Buttered Cheerios Recipe from 1985

After all of the sweets that were probably consumed throughout the Halloween season, you may be like me an in the mood for something a little savory. Well, here comes Cheerios to save the day! I tried this Hot Buttered Cheerios recipe last winter and found it to be very, very good. It’s a nice substitute for popcorn, and in my personal opinion pair very well with a Hersey bar.

These are quick and easy, and you should give them a try this fall. Enjoy.

Kool-Aid Halloween Chiller Recipe from 1982

Here is another good-looking recipe for the Halloween season, and any potential Halloween parties you may have planned. It’s a Halloween-themed punch recipe that Kool-Aid put out back in 1982. What a time to be alive it must have been when you could get Apple-flavored Kool-Aid. Now I know that this recipe calls for that Apple Kool-Aid and that it is no longer available. I also know that Green Apple Kool-Aid is sometimes hard to find. I would suggest using either Orange flavored Kool-Aid, or Lemon-Lime flavored Kool-Aid as a substitute in this recipe. I have similar punches with both of these flavors, and they always turn out great. Go with the Orange if you want an orange-colored punch, or go with the Lemon Lime if you’re looking for a green witches brew type of punch.

And since the recipe portion looks like it could be a little hard to read on a small screen, below is a blown-up version of it.

Oreo Pumpkin Patch Pie Recipe from 1993

In an effort to continue bringing old recipes to modern eyes, today I want to present to you Oreo’s Pumpkin Patch Pie from 1993. You know these kinds of recipes. They used to pop up in magazine ads as a way for companies like Nabisco to market more of their products. Create a recipe that calls for your product, pay for that recipe to appear in a magazine, and before you know it, you’ve sold more Oreos. But in all seriousness, I remember my mom making this once back in the day and it was pretty good. Give it a shot this season and see what you think.

It’s hard to beat the Halloween season for having some of the best goodies and treats. But not all of them need to be purchased. No, you can make some of the very best treats of the season at home.

But I’m here to remedy that problem by bringing some of those recipes back to the forefront. For the Halloween season, let’s start right here with this Jello recipe for The Great Pumpkin Parfait. The directions are easy enough to follow, and the ingredients are not hard to find at all. Do yourself a favor and make a batch of these for the season. You won’t be disappointed.
