Whenever we visit my dad, he likes to offer us chocolate milkshakes and chocolate sodas. This is a really yummy dessert my kids enjoy. So to do something fun this year for Halloween, I wanted to make some Halloween Snacks for us to enjoy while we were decorating our pumpkins. I used a little inspiration from my dad's favorite dessert!
The first thing we had to do was head to Walmart to pick up all the ingredients we needed to decorate pumpkins and make Fanta Floats. Walmart even had free samples! These are so easy to make and delicious! I would drink this every day.
How To Make Jack O Lantern Floats
Before we started to decorate the pumpkins, we decorated our plastic cups with Jack O Lantern faces. All you need is a sharpie to create your spooky Jack O Lantern face. Your kids will have tons of fun making silly faces on their cups.
Grab your favorite vanilla ice cream and add a scoop to your cup.
Then pour enough Fanta to almost fill the cup. Give it a little stir with your straw to combine these amazing flavors.
Last, squirt some canned whipped cream on top. Serve and enjoy! This delicious combination is like eating an Orange Creamsicle ice pop. But a little less messy. You get the combination of the creamy vanilla ice cream with the cold, fizzy orange soda.
Jack O Lantern Floats
- 7 oz plastic cups
- Sharpies
- vanilla ice cream
- 2 liter of Fanta or mini cans
- Canned Whipped Cream
- straws
Instructions:
- Decorate your cup with your best Jack O Lantern face.
- Add a scoop of vanilla and fill the cup with Fanta. Give it a little stir.
- Top with whipped cream and enjoy!
This will make a lot of drinks - so you can share with all your friends!
My kids decided they wanted to color their pumpkins with markers. So heres a video of them being creative.
What a fun Halloween idea!! My boys would love those.
This is such a great idea. I love orange soda I will have to try this.
That looks really fun and really yummy! I think we'll take this to a Halloween pot luck party we are going to!
YUM... and SO cute! Reminds me of a Creamsicle. 🙂 Thanks!
This is such a fun idea! Looks so good, too!
Oh these look delicious! Thanks for the cute idea.
that does sounds just like a creamsicle. My kids hate soda but I think they'd be ok with this
those floats are precious! I know my kids will love them and Ill have to make it for Friday.
This is such a fun idea for Halloween! The floats are really cute and I bet delicious.
Okay, these are just adorable! And I know my kids would like them, because they love Fanta.
This is just the excuse I need to buy some Fanta. The floats are so fun!
Aren't those just the cutest?!? I love the cups and I think my kids would just adore them!
These are adorable! I just showed them to my husband and we are for sure making them for Halloween.
There are so many fun things you can do with orange soda! What a spooky punch! 😉
This looks like a super fun Halloween treat! I used to really love ice cream floats but haven't had one in years.
These look delicious. Fanta is my favorite pop, so I might be a little biased. =D
The Fanta treat looks so yummy. I really enjoy how quickly you and the kids were able to decorate the plastic cups using Sharpies. The Halloween tradition I've carried on for years is decorating the windows.
Sounds like a creamsicile of sorts! Yum!
I love how cute those cups turned out too! So easy!
These look so yummy! We use orange Fanta, sherbet and pineapple juice and make delicious punch. 🙂
These look so yummy. I think I'll make some tonight for dessert.
Those floats look like so much fun! My kids would giggle at those pumpkin faces!
This looks like a fantastic treat for any time of the year. I will have to make some up for the kids.
This is great news! While the adults can enjoy sipping their wine, kids can also indulge in their fun floats.
What a fun Halloween treat! My boys would love these!
So cute and YUM! I love this idea!!
My whole family loved making these Jack o'Lantern floats yesterday! Thanks for the great idea!
Yay - I am so glad they loved them. I think we will be making these often - not just Halloween.
That looks like so much fun! Great job!
We like Fanta! I bet this tastes almost like an orange creamsicle- I love the cups being decorated.
