Meow, Meow, Meow. Meow...

No Halloween is complete without fun treats to share with friends, right? I think I have more fun making treats for Halloween than for any other holiday. This year I was by inspired by Sue Kment's Black Cat Popcorn Box Treat Holder, on her blog, Sue's Stampin' Stuff.

Sue used a svg cutfile designed by Sweet Afton which may be purchased from the Silhouette Design Store to make her adorable popcorn box treat holders, but since I wanted to change up kitty's face, I decided to try and create my own cut file for this.

Using a freebie cutting file for a regular popcorn box shared on La Super Mamy DIY blog, I added a kitty face to look like Chococat.

Made these in two sizes for different treats...

...15 of them in a large size (about 9-1/2 inches tall and 5 inches wide at the top) to fill with a Bugles, Cheetos, Fritos, and Pretzel snack mix...

...and 6 of them about half that size to fill with Rice Krispies cookies.

I got the recipe for the snack mix I used to fill the large boxes at the Ono Kine Grindz website, found here. And the cookie recipe from the Tasty Kitchen website, here

The best thing about these popcorn boxes was that once the cutting file was created, it could be cut in any size, large or small...and the assembly is pretty much quick and easy!

Gosh, that is an extremely adorable treat box. The cat does look like Chococat. I need to remember this cute Halloween goodie container for next year. I have cat lovers in my family who would love it.
