Bacon wrapped, brown sugar lil' smokies

These are delicious! I was the first to get one and I couldn't stop until they were gone.

Gather

Brown Sugar

Beef or pork lil' smokies (I used beef)

Bacon (I used turkey and pork)

Cinnamon sugar (optional)

Oven-350 degrees

GO

First take your bacon and cut them in half. As you can see I used 2 different kinds of bacon to compare the two.

Then you lay a piece of bacon on a flat surface, lay a lil' smokie at the wider end (at this point you can sprinkle a little cinnamon sugar on the smokie)( I forgot) and roll the smokie up in the bacon. Add a toothpick in to hold it all together.

Next, sprinkle the brown sugar on top of the bacon. Mmmm

Finally pop it in the oven for 40 minutes

 Let cool on pan for 5 minutes and enjoy.

 They go fast so you better be first in line.

Just to let you know the pork wraps tasted a little better than the turkey wraps. Even though I don't really eat pork. The turkey wraps were a bit to meaty.

But other than that this would be perfect for a gathering. But like I said they go fast so you better make a lot. They were gone that same night.

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!
