First, either make or purchase cupcakes with green frosting. My kitchen was under construction for this video, so I purchased mine. But you can easily make your own and even use the grass piping tip to make grass. 

Then I found these golf-tee toothpicks. Place one in each cupcake. 

Then use cookie icing to secure a white chocolate truffle to each of the tees. 

Allow the icing to harden, serve and enjoy!

The Ultimate Couple’s Halloween Costume Guide

Halloween is kind of becoming the equivalent of Valentine’s Day. When you’re in a relationship, or heck even going to a sorority party in college with a date, the conversation of a couple’s costume comes up. However, some of them are horribly cheesy. I don’t want to blatantly brand Stephen and humiliate him in front of our friends, so I try to come up with ideas that are clever but that he would like too. This excludes our first Halloween party where we went as Popeye and Black Swan. Call me crazy, but I don’t think those two ever crossed paths except in sorority land.

Based on every time I log into Pinterest, I would have to guess the top costumes this year are going to be: Pennywise, a unicorn, Wonder Woman, and Beauty and the Beast. However, if you want some more ideas, I came up with this list of 100 couple’s Halloween costumes! I’ve broken them down into categories so you can pick the perfect one for you and your person.

I’ve even included a few examples of costumes we have done in the past. Obviously, the photo quality is spectacular, but here we go!

    This is such a great post of ideas! My husband and I did Waynes World a couple of years ago and I loved it. We did Mario and Luigi once too. This year we’re going to be a family of donuts though at the request of my son. 🙂

    October 18, 2017 at 10:58 am

    This is a great list! So extensive. I love that you guys dress up together every year! My time has now taken me to dressing up as a family (this year we’re bring trolls). But if we ever get a halloween out together, I would love to use some of these ideas.

  3. Nicole Green says

    October 18, 2017 at 11:12 am

    Love how thorough your list is! There’s so many fun costume possibilities out this year; I’m excited to see what you all go as this year!

    I love couples costumes! they are so fun. I don’t think we will dress up this year but it’s been fun to do it in the past.

    October 18, 2017 at 10:02 pm

    These are such good ideas! I can never decide on what I want to be and my fiance never wants to dress up. But I love Halloween mainly because I get to use a lot of glitter or fake blood. I love makeup 🙂

    I love your post. Your costume guide is so helpful and sounds awesome. Thanks for sharing.

    My husband never wants to do a couples costume so he ends up dressing up in something else.

    We will be doing Jim and Pam next year! ? but I plan on making the kids be characters too ? we were going to be Juno and Pualie Beeker this Halloween since I’m super pregnant, but went with a different theme instead. These ideas are great!!

  16. Nita Ho says

    October 20, 2017 at 5:57 am

    Love them! My husband never joins in when we dress up, which is such a shame! I think we would have so much fun doing it, but then its only fun when the other person also enjoys it! You have done a great job!

  17. Erica @ Coming up Roses says

    October 20, 2017 at 7:03 am

    I love dressing up for Halloween, but my honey isn’t the biggest fan. I try to find costumes in our closets each year since I know he doesn’t REALLY wanna dress up anyway. Last year we went as clark kent/superman and lois lane. I love these ideas!
