Halloween Goodies


So I clearly have not updated here in a long time! Of course, I'm pretty sure that there are only 2 people who read this, so I probably haven't been missed too much. Regardless, I have been keeping busy and have oodles to share! Let's start with my Halloween goodies!


Dark chocolate and white chocolate crispy candies (think nestle crunch):
This basically entailed melting chocolate, stirring in little crispies (which I bought at my local candy/baking store, but I've seen them at craft stores, etc), placing a spoonful of the mixture into a mini cupcake wrapper, sticking a piece of candy corn on top. Super simple and super yummy!

Ghost and Bat Cookies:

I just used a simple butter cookie recipe, then melted up some dark and white chocolate with a small amount of oil and spread it on. The eyes are little orange sugar beads.

I packed up one of each in these adorable spider web bags (Martha Stewart Crafts of course!), punched two holes in the bags and tied them off with black ribbon. I made up the bat shaped gift tags in photoshop, punch a hole, and tied them on. They read: "Happy Haunting From Colleen"

Pumpkin Cakes (I made these for my company's Halloween party):

These little guys are pumpkin spice cake with cinnamon cream cheese frosting. I baked them in mini bundt cake pans (roughly the size of cupcakes - slightly larger). The steams are mini pretzel sticks, and the final product is placed into candy apple wrappers.


There's lots more to come, I promise!

You actually make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be actually something that I think I would never
understand. It seems too complex and very broad
for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I'll try to get the hang of it!
