Halloween Treats

Happy Belated Halloween!!

Sorry I missed posting on the actual day, but I enjoyed looking at all of your posts and seeing all of the cute trick or treaters dressed up!

I haven't actually gotten around to posting these until now since we've been busy moving of course, but I just had to share the treats that my niece and I made for Halloween.  These ideas were all found on or inspired by Pinterest. 

To start off with, we made some...

WITCH HATS!

 

and then...

Frankenstien Marshmallow Pops

Actually, she did these all by herself.  Look at those skills drawing that face.  I was so impressed!

(I just wish I had gotten a better picture of the final outcome.  They tasted yummy!!)

Then we made some little ghost men combining the marshmallows and hats!  One is supposed to be scary with the "O" face and one happy.

These were again her idea to try doing the...

Candy Corn Marshmallow Pops 

I think we pulled it off fairly well if I do say so myself. 

By the end of the night things got weird, and we couldn't resist making some gory marshmallow men...with red food coloring for blood and a worm coming out of the head.  You know we had to have some scary stuff too!  haha



It was such a wonderful evening with my niece in the kitchen having fun and sharing time together doing something we both enjoy.  This has become our "thing" we do together, and I absolutely LOVE IT!

(see a tiny bit of our Christmas baking here)

I'll have some house updates soon!

A Few Things I'm Loving This Week

Happy Friday!!  I'm really excited that the weekend is finally here.  I wanted to share with you a few of my favorite things from this past week...you know just in case you have free time this weekend and want to enjoy them too!

Last weekend, my sister and I rented Something Borrowed, and we loved it!!  I have read the book twice now and the sequel Something Blue, so I was really excited to see the movie.  I think they did a fantastic job!  My sister had never read the books, but she also thought the movie was super entertaining.  Of course she wants to read the books now!  I'd recommend the books or the movie if you are in the mood for some easy to read chic lit or a chic flick.

And if you need something sweet to snack on while reading or watching the movie, you have to try Ghirardelli's new Dark Chocolate and Sea Salt Caramel Squares.  They are heavenly!!! 

Well, since we are on the topic of food and sweets, there's one more thing.  If you want a healthier option, but still want someting sweet, get the KIND bar in almond and coconut.  YUM!  You've probably tried these by now, but I'm just now catching on.  It's so delicious, but you are still eating something good for you!

Did you discover any new sweet treats or new favorite things this week??  Do share!!

 Hope you enjoy your weekend!!!
