I have seen this floating around Pinterest and thought I’d give it a try.  I’m not a huge fan of pumpkiny things but a friend said that it didn’t have a real heavy pumpkin taste.  For having just 2 ingredients, WOW!  These are some tasty little things and SO moist!  I also added a little bit of cinnamon and nutmeg to mine.  I plan on making these for my daughters Mother’s Day Out teachers as a Halloween treat!

Pumpkin Muffins

Ingredients

• 1 box yellow cake mix (you can also use spice cake or chocolate mix)
• 1 can pumpkin (15 oz)
• 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
• 1/2 tsp nutmeg (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350. Mix all ingredients together and put divide evenly into 12 muffins.  Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done.

*You can also add chocolate chips if you like the pumpkin/chocolate combo!

Caramel Corn is great to give as Halloween treats.  You can get the cute little decorative bags and tie them up with some Halloween ribbon.  Everyone is SURE to love this caramel corn!!

Thanks to Southern Fried Dreams, I had the perfect Halloween appetizer to take to a Game Night last night!  They were a big hit with all of us grown ups….who says fun foods have to be just for kids??!

They are very easy to make and of course, will always be a big hit with whoever you decide share them with (grown ups or kids!).

Mummy Dogs

Printable Version: Mummy Dogs

Ingredients:

1 can (8 oz) crescent rolls or 1 can (8 oz) Crescent Recipe Creations refrigerated flaky dough sheet

2 1/2 slices American cheese, quartered

10 large hot dogs
Cooking spray
Mustard or ketchup, if desired

Directions:

Heat oven to 375°F.

If using crescent rolls: Unroll dough; separate at perforations, creating 4 rectangles. Press perforations to seal. If using dough sheet: Unroll dough; cut into 4 rectangles.

With knife or kitchen scissors (I used a pizza cutter), cut each rectangle lengthwise into 10 pieces, making a total of 40 pieces of dough.

Slice cheese slices into quarters (1/2 slice cheese, cut in half).

Wrap 4 pieces of dough around each hot dog and 1/4 slice of cheese to look like “bandages,” stretching dough slightly to completely cover hot dog. About 1/2 inch from one end of each hot dog, separate “bandages” so hot dog shows through for “face.”

(I made mini-mummy’s and cut the hot dogs in half since we were having these as an appetizer)

On ungreased large cookie sheet, place wrapped hot dogs (cheese side down); spray dough lightly with cooking spray.

Bake 13 to 17 minutes or until dough is light golden brown and hot dogs are hot. With mustard, draw features on “face.” (I put some mustard into a zip-loc bag, cut the corner tip off and drew the faces that way)

I’m so thrilled to share one of my favorite Halloween treats with MakeLifeDelicious.com!

Here, now is one of those snacks that bursts with holiday color.  The sweet & savory flavor makes it all the better.

Pumpkin Spice Popcorn

3 Tbsp. Brown Sugar

1 tsp. Pumpkin Pie Spice

1/2 tsp. salt

3 drops red food coloring

6 drops yellow food coloring.

3 Tbsp. Olive Oil

1 c. popcorn kernels

Mix sugar, spice, and salt together.  Set aside.

Whisk food coloring into olive oil.  Pour popcorn & colored olive oil into a large pan on stove top.  Cook, covered, on Medium High heat until fully popped.  Turn off heat.  Quickly uncover and sprinkle spice mixture over popcorn.  Stir to coat over heat, then remove from heat.

Cool and eat.  Trick or Treat!

To make Pumpkin Popcorn strings, simply thread individual pieces with a needle onto basic thread.

A treat OR a trick?  Now, get poppin’!
