Halloween Fun Idea/Blog Hop

Monster Eyes Hot Chocolate

I think I have told you..Halloween isn't just for kids!!
I have alot of fun myself during all these holidays til the
end of the year especially..Making lots of great Family
Memories/Traditions that never end..That's the
Best Part...the family memories..

Well....the above photo is my attempt to make
"Monster Eyes" which I found @ The Farm Girl
website..great blog...check it out!

Supplies to make Monster Eyes:
2 Big Marshmallows
2 Black Jelly Beans
2 Lollipop Sticks

Directions:
Take a lollipop stick end & stick it in the jelly bean
then stick it through the Big Marshmallow & put it
in the hot chocolate...Have a laugh!! The weight of
the lollipop stick helps it to not fall over so much but
it will fall over a little..depending on which way you
put the jelly beans you can give them different
personalities sorta like "Mr. Potato Head"
Has anybody seen his "angry eyes"? I love Toy Story!!!

Mini Chocolate Bundt Cakes w/Peanut Butter

I found these over at Stephanie's Kitchen...but made
several changes because I wanted to take these to a
dinner party tonite & had not planned to do
that until an hr. before I was to be there (plus
getting ready) They turned out great & surprised me
at how easy they were to make...(They look like they
took a lot of time but..they didn't..and isn't that
what we like..

They were a big hit at the party too...so FAST & EASY
Sorry the picture is blurry...

quartered peanut butter cups and enjoy pure
bliss...SEE BELOW:
