Here’s a great snack that will fill the kids' bellies before they head out to collect candy. To maintain the shape of the cutouts, spread the bean mixture with a butter knife or thin spatula. You can use any shape of cookie cutter that you have on hand.—Taste of Home Test Kitchen

These were really cute and fun to make. It would take too much time to make enough for a party, so we made some and sprinkled them on top of a large bowl of regular tortilla chips. They added lots of Halloween character to an otherwise regular bowl of tortilla chips.
