I love Halloween! It’s one of my favorite holidays. Decorating, dressing up and making yummy treats is all part of the excitement. Every holiday I try to make something different that I’ve never made before. I’m very particular about what I make. I’m a busy lady and I don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen but still want that finished look like I did. 
Well today I want to share some of the hauntingly scrumptious Halloween goodies I made this year.
My inspiration for this year was Hershey’s Boo Blvd. This online site has lots of ideas like recipes, crafts, costume ideas and fun stuff to do. Hershey’s was nice enough to send me a package of Halloween Reese’s/Kit Kat Minis 115 pieces for me to review so I wanted to incorporate them into my baking this year. I wish you guys could’ve seen my daughter’s face when she saw all those Reese’s! These are her favorite so when I saw the recipe for Broomsticks I knew they would be a big hit. This recipe is so simple. All you need are Reese’s miniatures, pretzel sticks and Hershey’s semi-sweet chocolate chips. It was so simple that my daughter did most of the work.
Next was the oh so yummy Chocolate-Peanut Butter Coated Apples. You just can’t go wrong when you mix these two together! Now this recipe was a little more difficult and there really wasn’t much the little ones could do. But if you’re up for the task the reward is well worth it. We tweaked the recipe a bit and rolled ours in chopped Reese’s miniatures instead of peanuts.
And last but not least were the cupcakes. Everything here was out of a package. We happened to find orange and black frosting at one of our local stores and the kids begged me to buy it. I couldn’t resist and I think the cupcakes turned out great. We topped them off with several different kinds of sprinkles and of course some Reese’s Pieces.
We had lots of fun preparing these yummy Halloween treats and eating them too! Thanks to Hershey’s one lucky reader will get to enjoy a 115 pc Halloween Reese’s /Kit Kat Minis!
