Cookies n’ Cream Fudge Halloween Tombstones
The most delicious and perfect tombstones ever (did I mention I love Halloween)? On a more serious note, I did immediately think of the poor passing of my daughter’s goldfish last night. At 9 pm.

Snack Cake Bats
I think I recently claimed back to school was the most wonderful time of the year (or parents). I’ll amend that to “except for Halloween” (for edible crafts folks). This time of the year is so full of cleverness and cuteness and creepiness. Mostly cleverness and cuteness. Make super easy snack cake bats HERE at Hungry Happenings. And be … Read More ...
Spooky Olive Snakes
The olive snake, cute or spooky? Definitely cute. And I know it’s not too early to post Halloween stuff, because my daughter and I just bought her Halloween costume this past weekend.

You’ll see my dangling sparkling spider cookies and caramel apple pops in there, but I’m way more impressed by how much party and treat goodness is packed in the pages. A sampling of the goods inside: … Read More ...
How to Make Sweet Bones
I saw some Halloween gear in my local craft store last week, so I guess that means we can officially start the Halloween talk. Right? I mean, the Back to School stuff has been in Target for ages now. Besides, bones are the kind of thing you need all year round. And I’m loving these bones, especially shaped into letters. … Read More ...

Butterfly Candy from Jolly Ranchers and Tootsie Rolls
More ways to recycle Halloween candy… gorgeous candy butterflies from Jolly Ranchers and Tootsie Rolls. Now I’ve done the melting-Jolly-Ranchers thing before.
