Halloween Candy Bark

I recently tried out a super duper easy recipe I found on Love from the Oven. It's called Candy Corn Pretzel Cookie Bark-or as I like to call it-Halloween Bark. Much easier, huh?
Its totally delicious! Im giving it out as halloween treats :)

Here's the Recipe:
You need
- third of a package of Oreos
-half cup of candy corn
-half cup of pretzels, broken into pieces
-about a half cup of caramel corn (or more if you prefer, I do!)
-1 package white chocolate candy melts

Break up Oreos into small pieces, and mix all ingredients together, excluding white chocolate. Pour into a cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Meanwhile, melt the white chocolate in a microwave safe bowl until creamy. Pour over the other ingredients, and work in with a fork.
Put in the fridge until hardened.
This is what it will look like:


Break into pieces, and Voila! A super delicious Halloween treat!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Happy Birthday to me, Happy October to you!

Happy October! See the pumpkin in my pumpkin spice latte? :)


My birthday was this past week, and it was a good one. I turned the big two five. I feel old :( Everyone says its downhill from here, but i feel like it's going to just get better and better! ( At least i surely HOPE so!)
For the festivities, Had some friends over and made smores on the firepit and had hot dogs and cupcakes on a perfect fall night. Here are some pictures of what I've been up to this month:

Birthday Cupcakes:


I am trying lots of new restaurants and cafes that have opened up close to my house, and a Jenni's opened up, so I HAD to try it! They have an amazing selection of ice creams, and a charming atmosphere. Here are some pics from my 2 excursions (so far!).
The first time, i tried the lavender wildberry, brambleberry crisp, and cherry lambic ice creams:
Delicious!!!!!!

Next, I tried a Pumpkin Tiramisu Parfait-it was the most delicious dessert I have ever tasted. For REAL. It is layers of Amaretti Cookie and Buttercup Pumpkin ice creams, espresso syrup soaked lady fingers, caramel, and mascarpone cheese. DELICIOUS!! and adorable to boot, right?

They always have fresh flowers on the tables, and they even have a little place for kids to sit and draw with chalk while they enjoy their ice cream!




So anyways, here is the most current me, in case you're curious :) not the best picture, but a picture none the less.


How is everyone?

A long overdue update!

Hello, All!
I have been away for quite some time now, busy starting a new job, moving into and redoing a house, and dealing with health issues (yuck) among many other things. My poor blog has been feeling neglected :( and I have lost the cord to my new camera(in the move)-so I can't upload any photos. I have been super busy with my new house (yay!) and giving it some MUCH needed TLC. I will share some pics once my cord comes out of hiding. I am super excited about fall-today was chilly and perfect sweater and coffee weather. I might be a bit partial to fall, since my birthday happens to be Tuesday :) I am having a little get together this weekend-fire pit, hot dogs, smores, cupcakes, etc. Tons of fall fun. Hopefully Ill have pictures to share.
WHat has everyone else been up to? Missing you all!
