Peppermint Patty Brownies

Okay, I'm sitting in the waiting room at the dentist, waiting for my big sister Jasmine to come out, when my mom showed me this magazine with this brownie recipe using peppermint patties. I said "oooooh, can I make it for my blog"?  Of course she said yes. So here it is.

                     

Gather

1 Box of brownie mix

Non-stick cooking spray

16-20 peppermint Patties

Go

Preheat the oven to 350

Spray a pan with non-stick spray

First bake the brownie mix according to the back of the box

I only had to add the mix, water and eggs

So when you have mixed everything together, Pour half the mix in the pan and add the peppermint patties

Then, pour the remaining brownie mix on top of the peppermint patties

Finally bake according to brownie box directions. I baked mine for 25-30 minutes.

Let cool for about 30 minutes

Then dig in to this minty treat.

Mmmm soo minty!

Enjoy





Coming Friday Nov. 19th... Peppermint brownies!

Wormy Apple Croissants

Gooey yet oh so wormy.  Perfect for a Halloween treat.These apple croissants are really fun to make. It was a little messy but it was soo worth it. Hope you enjoy these as much as I did.

Gather

1 granny smith apple

1 (8 ounce) package crescent rolls

1/4 caramel topping

gummy worms or bugs

Go

Use a vegetable peeler to peel the apple ( this was kinda tricky so you can let a grown-up do this part). On a cutting board slice apples into Fourths with a small paring knife.

Cut the core out and dice(cut) the apples into small chucks

Place apples chucks in a small sauce pan and cover with water.Cook over medium heat for 3- to 5 minutes or until apples or soft. ( Be sure to pay attention, you don't want them to get too soft or else you will have applesauce)

 Drain.

On an ungreased baking sheet spread out the triangles of the crescent roll dough.

 

In a small bowl, use a mixing spoon to mix the apples and the caramel topping.

Drop 1 tablespoon of the apple mixture into the middle of each triangle.

Fold the dough over the filling and continue to roll into a crescent shape. Firmly press the edges together.

When croissants have cooled, add the gummies and drizzle caramel topping over each croissant.

And there you have it, bugs and all.

Remember to refrigerate any leftovers. I doubt there will be any though. These are bug-a-licious!

Wichy Wands

How do witches cast spells? With their witchy wands of course. These wands taste soo good, believe me you won't need a magic spell to make them disappear. This treat is a little messy but soo much fun!



GATHER

30 caramels

1 tablespoon butter

2 teaspoons milk

1 (10-ounce) bag of pretzel rods

3/4 cup semi sweet chocolate chips

sprinkles

non-stick cooking spray

baking sheet

microwave safe bowls

coffee mug

mixing spoon

GO

Spray the non stick cooking spay onto the baking sheet. Set aside.

Microwave the caramels, butter, and milk in a mirowave safe bowl for 40 seconds (watch carefully)

Stir and microwave an extra 30 seconds. Be sure there are no lumps.

Now take one of the pretzel rods and use a mixing spoon to coat a little over a half of  the pretzel with the caramel. Place the pretzel rod on the baking sheet and allow to cool.

Put the chocolate chips in the coffee mug, and  microwave for 30 seconds. (Please watch carefully because I burned it the first time and had to do it again. I also used a liquid measuring cup since I burned the chocolate in the mug. Opps.)Once the caramel has cooled, dip the pretzels in the chocolate covering not even half of it allowing some of the caramel to show. I used the back of a spoon which it easier to spread. 

 Cover the chocolate part of the pretzel with sprinkles (my favorite part) I put a bowl underneath to catch the falling sprinkles.

Place the pretzels on a tray and allow chocolate to cool at room tempeture for 2 hours or in refrigerator for 20 minutes.

Phewww! Finally finished. That took awhile but I did it. Now time for the best part...yum yum! 

Easy Peasy Halloween Spooky Hand

This fun treat is sooo easy to make. You can really make this with no help at all.  A good idea to do with this hand is to place it in the candy bowl standing straight up or give out as treats. You can even make some at a halloween party with your friends.
 Have fun making this, I did.

Gather

1 plastic glove with all five fingers

1 bag of microwave popcorn

6 pieces of candy corn( sorry I have 5 in my picture)

piece of ribbon (any color, to tie the end) 

glue

GO

First take the glove and put a piece of candy in each finger

Next take the popcorn and fill the fingers and the middle of the hand

Then take the ribbon and tin in a knot and then a bow.

Finally glue the last piece of candy to the middle of the bow.

See I told you it was easy.

Byeeee!

It's Halloween Treat time!

It is time to start gather my favorite halloween treats and share them with you guys. I love to make holiday themed treats. So this is going to be a fun month. Keep a look out for my first post.

Easy Monkey Bread

When I first heard of Monkey bread, I thought the name was kinda silly.  And no, it is not made out of monkeys. lol. My mom told about this recipe, and that my grandma and great-grandma used to make this from scatch. I chose to go the easy way and use aready made dough. So I hope you enjoy this sweet, monkey bread as much I do.

2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

4 cans (7.5oz Ea) refrigerated biscuits (I used pillsbury)

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter or margarine

3/4 cup packed brown sugar

non stick spray

GO

preheat oven to 350

Spray a 12 cup bundt cake pan

Mix granulated sugar and cinnamon

Cut each biscuit into 4's

 Place pieces into sugar and cinnamon mixure and toss to coat

Add butter and brown sugar in a bowl. Stir til combined.

Add coated biscuits to the pan and pour butter mixure over them

Bake for 40 to 45 minutes or until golden brown

This bread is delicious served warm with a side of vanilla ice cream. Mmmmm so good!

Turkeys in a Blanket

Gather

1 can (8oz) refrigerated crescent dinner rolls

4 Turkey hot dogs

4 cheese singles

Go

Heat oven to 375. Unroll crescent roll dough, separate into 8 triangles. Cut each triangles lengthwise in half.

Cut each hot dog lengthwise in half, then cut each piece crosswise in half.

Cut each piece of cheese into 4 strips.

Place 1 hot dog piece and 1 cheese strip  at the wider end of the dough triangle, and roll it up.

Be sure to place the end piece, down on the baking sheet.

Bake 10 to 13 minutes or until golden brown.

This was a simple recipe that you can make on your own. Well if you are not to handy with a knife, use a plastic one or ask an adult for help. Also ask help with the oven. Enjoy those dogs!!!
