DAY OF THE DEAD HERSHEY SUGAR SKULL CANDY TRAY RECIPE

Dia de Los Muertos 

Dia de Los Muertos or as some of you know it- Day of the Dead is a Mexican celebration. If you aren’t familiar with the Mexican holiday it is celebrated throughout Mexico and by the people of Mexican heritage. Its celebration starts on November 1st and ends on the 2nd.

It is a day to remember loved ones that have passed and are no longer with us. 

Dia de Los Muertos traces its roots to the people of Mexico and is specifically done in the fall to coincide with the end of the agricultural cycle.

It is a beautiful celebration of remembrance for lives passed. It is not a sad mourning day, but a day full of love and memories, not death. During this day ofrendas (gifts/offering) are made for loved ones and are displayed on colorful altars.

I thought it would be fun to use all the Hershey candy we typically already use for Halloween and do a Dia de Los Muertos Hershey Sugar Skull Candy Tray with it in honor of this celebration. Although they are celebrated one day apart they are not related. I think it is important I incorporate some of my heritage for my children so we keep the tradition alive.

I hope you enjoy making this Dia de Los Muertos Hershey Sugar Skull Candy Tray as much as we did. Have your kids or partner join in the fun and help out. The hard part is not eating it while making the tray! Please enjoy the video below to see how I put this together.

Hi! I'm Erika, wife to my high school sweetheart, mama of three- Ryan, Elyse and Luke. Texas living, just juggling being a WAHM now. Here I share my motherhood journey, family travel, love for food, affordable kid fashion and all my favorite things. Welcome to my blog, so happy you are here.

Be Social

Hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving 🦃🍽🍁. I’m grateful for the abundance of health, food, love, another year with my parents by my side and the family God has given me. I’m thankful for these four people right here, always ♥️ #thanksgivingday
What a special day. Many milestones to get here. 1 What a special day. Many milestones to get here. 10 years of marriage today. Within these ten years we have build a home, added two more kids (3 total and done) we’ve had career changes, you decided to go back to school and you’re halfway done, all while surviving a global pandemic and yet we are still here even after being stuck at home a whole year with each other. Safe to say we have made it! We have leaned on each other and pushed each other forward. 

Happy Decade Anniversary. 10 years of marriage down, forever to go. ♥️
The boys are living their best lives. These faces The boys are living their best lives. These faces say it all. Never really thought a boys trip is what they needed for some bonding time. They are exactly five years apart and share a birthday together but the age difference really became a thing now that Ryan is hitting his pre teen years. Luke randomly keeps reminding him “hey do you remember when I was in mommy’s belly and you wanted me here on your birthday... well here I am” 😂 // AD Thank you @visitfriscotx for giving the boys an unforgettable time #visitfriscotx #friscotx #texastravel
[AD] If you have been following along with my stor [AD] If you have been following along with my stories this weekend you already know we are currently doing another Texas getaway with just the boys this time at the new @hyattregencyfrisco 

We partner with @visitfriscotx to show you around the city. I’ve always loved the DFW area and Frisco has instantly become one of my favorite cities in Texas so far. There is so much to see and do. And the best thing for me is everything is either walking distance from the @hyattregencyfrisco like the @stonebriarcentre or easy driving distance like @kidzaniausa @thestarinfrisco @nvmusa and so many fine dining restaurants.

We love exploring new places any chance we get. Swipe to see more photos. Will be sharing more this week. You can check it all in my Frisco TX highlight. #visitfriscotx #frisco #dallas #texasblogger
