Happy Halloween!

Hi there!

I have never been really "into" Halloween.  I hate being scared.  I hated walking around for candy (though loved to eat it).  However, I married a man who LOVES Halloween - more than Christmas!  So, I am doing my best to be "into" Halloween this year! 

Tomorrow we are going to a Halloween party so I am bringing some dessert.  I made some Oreo Truffles with dark cocoa candy coating and orange dots and drizzles.  They look "ok" but taste AMAZING!

Then, a co-worker saw this monster cupcake platter in a Vons article, so I thought it would be a fun "buttercream" project as I continue to practice that technique.  The colors are actually purple and green (the photos look blue).  All I used was the grass tip and then a round tip for the mouth.  The eyes are peanut butter chocolate eye balls -- eaters beware -- they need to take the wrapper off the eyeballs first!

Here are some photos:



Happy Halloween, everyone!
Sincerely,
Aly
