Pumpkin Funnel Cake Mix For Halloween

Here are the scarecrow bags I made for the Halloween party at our house this year. The are filled with a pumpkin funnel cake mix. Each guest took one home.

I used brown lunch bags, scrapbook paper for the eyes, noses and mouths. And funnel hats that can be used to make the funnel cakes.

The ingredients for the pumpkin funnel cake mix. 

I did not follow the directions of the original recipe because I made mine as a mix.

Original recipe can be found here

I mixed the funnel cake ingredients together and put them in a ziploc freezer bag. 

This is what I put in the scarecrow bags, along with a copy of the recipe and a sandwich bag of powdered sugar.
