Now, I live in a city, so trick-or-treating isn't as usual around here. Besides, I'm not usually home when trick-or-treaters would be coming by, so last year I put together little bags of candy for the 5 kids in my building.
This year I'm going to treat their parents as well (and maybe the kids not so much). I'm going to give each apartment a little bag of the pumpkin fudge (kids probably won't like it) and some potato-chip and pecan cookies I made, frosted lovingly with maple frosting. Mmmmmmmm.
The cookies are made from a
recipe I found in Real Simple a few years ago. They're very yummy but also very crumbly. If I ever want to make shapes with them again I'm going to experiment with using some egg to hopefully bind them together (any experimental bakers out there are welcome to make suggestions!)
I've also put up a few decorations in my place - some black paper bugs on the windows (thanks Martha!). I thought nobody would notice, but friends have confirmed they did notice them, even though my place is on the 3rd floor. I have a little funkin I carved in my family room - no big deal. I also have a Halloween wreath on my front door, which gets a little better each year. This year I supplemented it with a few of those window bugs. And thanks to one of my neighbors (I don't know which one) I have some candy in my wreath as well. Score!
I'll leave you with one last Halloween cookie - he's a little messy, but he's my favorite. A little Dracula, with blood on his hands, and on his fangs.
