Halloween 2013

Bloodshot peanut butter ball eyeballs

I love this EASY recipe! 

Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups of peanut butter

1/2 cup of butter softened

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

3 3/4 cups of powdered sugar

White chocolate candy coating

Milk chocolate M&Ms

Decorating gel

Instructions:

1. Cream peanut butter and butter until it's light and fluffy. Beat in vanilla. Gradually beat in powdered sugar. Shape into 1 inch balls. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

2. In a microwave safe bowl melt the white chocolate candy coating. Dip peanut butter balls in white chocolate and coat completely. Then place on wax paper and add your M&M. 

3. Once the white chocolate coating had hardened I added the decorating gel.

ENJOY! 

Here are some pictures from pumpkin carving:

Our new way of lighting pumpkins--works SOOOO much better than a candle! 

We bought 2 pumpkins about a week or so before Halloween because we knew we were going to carve pumpkins. Then about 2 days before Halloween I remembered and I needed to get another pumpkin for a turkey decoration that I use at Thanksgiving. It's ALWAYS an ordeal to get a pumpkin for my turkey decor. USUALLY it's because I wait to get a pumpkin until it's too late and all the pumpkins are gone! So of course, like every year we went out on the hunt for another pumpkin. We searched high and low-a bunch of grocery stores, Walgreens and Walmart. FINALLY at our last stop (which was WALMART) we found 3 big boxes of the reject pumpkins. Actually, I found a few good ones in there and we snatched those right up! We were so excited that we had finally found pumpkins that we might have gone a little overboard on the pumpkin buying. Can you blame us though? They were only $2 a piece! So for the rest of Halloween and all through November, we had our own little pumpkin patch. I actually took a pumpkin over to my parent's house (for my mom to make a pumpkin pie with) and the pumpkin actually lasted through most of December!! 

Hope you guys had a Happy Halloween (3 months ago!!!! lol)!! Thanks for following!
