I can feel my childhood coming back to me, as I anxiously await the release of The Peanuts Movie. Some of my fondest memories of my childhood include the Peanuts gang. Every year at Halloween I looked forward to watching, “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!”. My all-time favorite, however, was “A Charlie Brown Christmas”. I absolutely loved this movie, and still do. When the children all sing, the memories come flowing back as if it were yesterday. I was glued to the television, while our not so Charlie Brown Christmas tree sparkled behind me. Oh, those were the best days ever.
When I was invited to shop at my local Safeway store (Safety is the official grocery partner of The Peanuts Movie), I was delighted. Shopping was going to be a little more fun, as I searched for The Peanuts Movie signs and products. As I looked around, I was impressed by all of the Halloween themed items, such as the bakery goods and floral department pictured below.
When we checked out, I saw a box of these cute The Peanuts Movie trick-or-treat bags at the end of the cash register. I was excited as I had purchased three participating products which made me eligible to receive one of these colorful bags!
When I got home I decided to make a fun little Halloween treat, using the Nestle bars I bought at Safeway.
These are little brownie bites with orange and black frosting. I placed Sally, Snoopy and a few other Peanuts characters atop each brownie and they were so cute! I say that in the past tense, as my family quickly snapped them up. Luckily I got a picture before they did. I will be making more of these to take to a Halloween party that we will be attending this weekend. They are so festive!
I am so excited to see this movie! I watched the Peanuts Movie trailer and found myself giggling just as I did when I was a little girl. Snoopy always cracks me up and he always makes me think of my 5th grade teacher (Ms. McCullough), who loved anything and everything Snoopy. I look forward to feeling like a kid again, but this time I will be in a movie theater watching my favorite characters.
There is even more to celebrate! I know, my dear readers, how much you love sweepstakes, and to coincide with The Peanuts Movie is The Peanuts Movie Sweepstakes! You could win a trip to Snoopy’s home in beautiful California, or a Peanuts Movie themed Xbox and video game! How fun is that? Hurry and enter though, as the sweepstakes ends October 31st!
