A Free Halloween Boo Poem is perfect for leaving treats for your friends and neighbors this Halloween season. Doorbell ditching has never been so fun!

When October rolls around, the traditions start up. One of our very favorites is “booing” people, which means you make some Halloween treats, ring a doorbell, and ditch the treats on someone’s front step.

It’s a fun tradition that my kids look forward to every year. And, I love it because it’s a good way to start on some holiday baking and it’s a good reminder to help your kids think of others.

You can fill the treat box with anything. I recommend making some Halloween Sugar Cookies or Halloween Candy Cookie Bars and picking a couple of these No-Bake Halloween Treats.

Expert Tips

Try to start “booing” your neighbors in early October so others have time to participate.
If you want to do this within your school or church, I recommend that you create a spreadsheet where people can indicate whether they have been “booed,” opt-out and list any food allergies.
It’s a good idea to know if there any food allergies or dietary restrictions at the home you’re surprising.
Keep in mind that not everyone may participate in passing on the poem and that’s ok.

What treats are best for “booing”?

Gooey Caramel Corn makes a big batch and is pretty inexpensive (so you can “boo” lots of people).
Candy corn snack mix is the stuff my snack dreams are made of. Place some of this in some festive baggies and you are good to go. So easy!
Marshmallow Popcorn with Chocolate is a lot of fun. Replace the sprinkles with Halloween colored sprinkles and the Christmas M&Ms with Reese’s Pieces or Halloween M&Ms.
No-Bake Fluffernutter Cookies are made from Ritz crackers and easy to make and dress up with seasonal sprinkles.
Magic Cookie Bars are always a hit, and bar cookies are a great idea for something like this. Swap out the Christmas M&Ms with Reese’s Pieces or Halloween M&Ms.
