Halloween Treats to Make with the Kids
Halloween is coming up quickly. My kids and I have been exploring all kinds of fun recipes we can make together. I found these from Very Best Baking. We've made these for years but we keep having new kids in our home so it's new to somebody every year, lol.
Uhmm, maybe I should give that issue some thought, you think?
Graveyard Pie
Have fun with the kids creating this festive and spooky graveyard-inspired pie. A chocolate cookie crust is filled with a chocolatey pie mixture and topped with cookie crumb dirt, cookie headstones and creepy crawly gummies and bones.
Ingredients
- 3 cups (about 32) finely ground chocolate sandwich cookie crumbs, divided
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 can (12 fl. oz.) NESTLÉ® CARNATION® Evaporated Milk
- 2 large egg yolks
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 3/4 cups (11.5-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Milk Chocolate Morsels
- 8 chocolate filled vanilla wafer cookies
- Black and purple decorator writing gels
- WONKA® SweeTARTS® Skulls n’ Bones*, gummy bugs or other assorted spooky Halloween candies
Directions
COMBINE 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs and butter in 9-inch deep-dish pie plate. Press crumb mixture onto bottom and upsides of pie plate. Set aside remaining 1 1/2 cups crumbs for dirt topping.
WHISK together evaporated milk, egg yolks and cornstarch in medium saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until mixture is very hot and thickens slightly; do not boil. Remove from heat; stir in morsels until completely melted and mixture is smooth.
POUR into crust. Sprinkle with remaining 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs. Press crumbs down gently. Refrigerate for 3 hours or until set.
DECORATE cookie tombstones as desired with writing gels. Insert tombstones around edge of pie. With spoon, mound cookie crumbs to form “fresh graves”. Decorate graves with candy to make the pie as spooky as you want it to be!

Cobweb Cupcakes
These cupcakes with "cobwebs" on the top make a perfect spooky treat for your favorite ghouls.
Ingredients
- 1 pkg. (18.25 oz.) devil's food or yellow cake mix
- 2 (2.1 oz. each) NESTLÉ BUTTERFINGER Candy Bar, chopped
- 1 container (16 oz.) prepared vanilla frosting
- 1 cup (6 oz.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
- 1 small tube white decorator icing or gel
- 1 pkg. (1.38 oz.) NESTLÉ GOOBERS Milk Chocolate-Covered Peanuts
Directions
PREPARE cake mix batter according to package directions; add chopped Butterfinger to batter. Bake according to directions for 24 cupcakes. Cool completely. Frost cupcakes.
PLACE morsels in small, heavy-duty plastic bag. Microwave on HIGH (100%) power for 45 seconds; knead. Microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, kneading until smooth. Cut small corner from bag; squeeze to pipe concentric circles on top of frosting. Using wooden pick or tip of knife, pull tip through chocolate from center to last circle to create a cobweb effect.
MAKE 2 dots using decorator icing on each of 24 Goobers to resemble spider eyes. Place in center of each cobweb.
Have fun!

Cyber Monday Giveaway Blogger Opportunity
BLOGGER OPPORTUNITY!! - "Cyber MondayGiveaway"
Cyber Monday has become as popular as Black Friday maybe even more popular!
Since we are talking about "cyber space" - the prizes for this giveaway will be e-prizes - all digitally deliverable. There will be a PayPal Cash prize that you can contribute to, but also, if you have any other e-prizes to contribute like ebooks, a gift certificate to your online shop or ad space on your blog-
e-stuff & PayPal cash for e-shopping!!
Here's how it works:
You can either give money towards the PayPal cash for the winner to spend anywhere, or give one of your own digital prizes as mentioned above - the amount of that prize determines how many links you will have in the "Rafflecopter" (by link we mean that the person entering the raffle would have to follow you on GFC, Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Bloglovin or any other social media method)
You can either give money towards the PayPal cash for the winner to spend anywhere, or give one of your own digital prizes as mentioned above - the amount of that prize determines how many links you will have in the "Rafflecopter" (by link we mean that the person entering the raffle would have to follow you on GFC, Pinterest, Twitter, Facebook, Bloglovin or any other social media method)
You may be a Sponsor or a Co-host - the Co-host spots require a $30 contribution - all other contribution amounts will be Sponsors.
If you want, you may add a little of both - $10 towards the PayPal cash & a $20 e-prize (or something like that) totaling $30 which is the amount for co-host spots.
By co-hosting you agree to post this Giveaway on your blog and to promote the Giveaway on any of your social media sites.
There is a limited number of co-host spots - so sign up early.
Please fill out this form if you are interested in adding to this Giveaway

Please email one of the hosts with any questions:
Angie from God's Growing Garden gourdonville@yahoo.com
Angel from Sew Crafty Angel sewcraftyangel@gmail.com
IMPORTANT: If you are providing an "e-prize" then you will be responsible to email the winner the e-prize yourself. Angie (from God's Growing Garden) will be responsible for sending the PayPal cash to the winner - all other e-prizes must be sent to the winner by the prize owner/creator on Black Friday(November 29th) or Saturday November 30th. The reason for this is so that the winner can spend/use the e-prizes on CyberMonday.
You have until October 25th, 2013 to sign up to be a part of this Giveaway.
Thank you & ENJOY!

Apple Dumplings with Orange Sauce
I absolutely love apples and so do my kids. I've been cooking apples like crazy lately and wanted to share a quick and easy dessert I found. My neighbor has several apple trees that he lets my kids pick from. It's a win win, the kids have a blast, I get fresh picked apples, and my neighbor gets to try all the desserts we make. I found this one at Better Homes & Gardens and changed it up to suit my taste.
