Halloween is in Full Swing!

My treats menu is planned....not that I'll stick to it. I always change things. My intention was to start baking Friday. Uh-um....three days ago. I still haven't started. Bad me. Happens all the time though. I really couldn't figure out what I wanted to bake this year. I've done pretty much the same treats for the last three years, and I wanted something different. It took me a little more time than normal to make my menu. But honestly, I work better under pressure. Really, I do. ;-)

This year I am going to be sending treat platters in, again with my hubby at work. I love to. I love how they ask if I'm baking yet. Plus, I will also be making another giant Haunted Gingerbread House, and he'll be taking that in as a decoration....if he still has a job. :-\ But that's another story.

Hubby is also part of the Volunteer Fire Dept. here in Chaparral, and I'll be sending in some cookie platters with him on the two nights he trains. It'll be a first for that since we just moved here.

Since moving here, we've met a few of our 'neighbors'. I say that in quotes as the neighbors are one or two miles away....which is a different concept than most have of neighbors. But since our neighbors have been so nice, I've decided to start the "You've Been Boo'd" tradition here. It'll be my way to share my goodies with our new friends. It would be great if it actually got going, but.....people are busy, and many wouldn't have the time. If it continues, it's be great, if not, that's OK...I just want an excuse to share my treats. ;-)

On the menu this year is:
Chewy Granola Drops
Pretzel Owls - They didn't look right.
Candy Corn Pinwheels
Eyeballs
Rocky Road Popcorn Balls
Caramel Apples
Candy Corn Crispy Treats
Marshmallow Pumpkins
Witch's Fingers
Frosted Sugar Cookie Cutouts
Chocolate Spiders
Molded Sugar Cookies
Chocolate Rats
Chocolate Pumpkin Pops

I'm sure I'll make some sort of brownie, bread, or cupcake too. I just haven't decided.

I'll post pictures as I bake and when I'm finished.
