Sat, 14 Oct 2006 22:35:09 -0400

From perfectentertaining.com. She says, "You can use store bought or homemade cookies for this recipe. I like using chocolate dipped homemade chocolate chip cookies for this recipe personally, but you can use your favorite cookiejust make sure it is chocolate covered for the best results. Chocolate covered chocolate sandwich cookies also make excellent bases. If you are coating your own cookies, you can just press the kisses into the melted chocolate and it will stick without doing two steps. I made these for an adult party and actually sprinkled the cookies with silver dragees and edible silver dust for a special presentation." I can't wait to try these. -- posted by JeriBinNC

Butterscotch Leaf Piles for Autumn Enjoyment

Sat, 29 Sep 2007 12:41:53 -0400

A friend in Spokane always made these for school treats and church potlucks. They remind me of leaves raked into big piles. The only thing that's missing is the earthy fragrance of A-U-T-U-M-N. Hmmm....guess the butterscotch and peannut butter will have to suffice! Cooking time: chilling in the fridge. -- posted by Debber

Halloween Can't Leave Alone Bars

Thu, 04 Oct 2007 02:39:18 -0400

From a cake mix! Easy and impressive! This version of the recipe from Taste Of Homes' Cake Mix Creations, has slightly more specific instructions and added ingredients than another recipe posted here. I'm sure they taste just the same, but I wanted to get this tried and true recipe in for my own records. I've used this for HALLOWEEN and CHRISTMAS with different food colorings for either the crust or the top batter or both, and have left plain for everyday. Bonus: They freeze very well. I've also found that they need to be cut smaller than your average bar size as they're very rich.(and I love chocolate!) -- posted by Hotmitts Houlihan

Spooky One Bowl Spider Web Brownies

Tue, 16 Oct 2007 20:49:53 -0400

No, there aren't any spider webs in the brownies. Instead you draw one on top. Or instead you could cut the frosted brownies into pieces, and draw an individual spider web on top of each one. Fun for any spooky Halloween party! -- posted by Loves2Teach

Peanut Butter Eyeballs are a holiday variation of a popular candy called Buckeyes. These nutty treats are dunked white chocolate and then decorated to look like bloodshot eyes. Dont be afraid to get creative with your decorating. A platter of different colored eyeballs would look splendidly scary at a Halloween party. Taken from www.food.about.com -- posted by my kid's mom

Healthy Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Sun, 04 Nov 2007 02:15:58 -0500

from Her Sports magazine. I ran out of rolled oats, so I used 1 cup rolled and 2 cups quick oats. Also substituted pumpkin spice mix for all the other spices and fresh pumpkin puree for canned pumpkin. I added only --1/2 cup raisins and added --1/4 cup chocolate chips. These came out a tad dry (as there is no fat in them) so adding a little oil could go a long way, though I haven't tried it. I baked for 8 min, rotated, and baked 8 more minutes. I will do slightly less next time. Also, they do not grow at all when baking, so the size you make them is the size the will end up. Mine were about 2 inches in diameter. -- posted by mikey & ev

Halloween Pumpkin Cookies

Wed, 07 Nov 2007 02:18:39 -0500

I got this recipe from my mom. I made these last year for Halloween and used both white and brown Splenda in place of the sugar and they were a big hit without the icing sugar dusting. My mom and I just made two batches last night with homemade pumpkin puree and regular sugars. You can cut down the sugars by about 1/4 cup each and they still taste great. -- posted by Seamor

Mrs. Sweet's Sugar Cookies

Mon, 03 Dec 2007 21:41:19 -0500

These are the worlds greatest sugar cookies! Mrs. Sweet (Yes, that was her real name,) lived down the street from my dad when he was little. Sometimes she would open her back door and say "Boys, would you like some cookies and all the kids would come running. She usually made round cookies and put red hots on them. The original recipe just said Flour enough for stiff dough I have estimated it at 4 ½ c 5 c. If you dont put in enough it is not big deal; it will just absorb more flour when rolling it out and cutting the shapes. -- posted by Alex Chapman

Monster Cookies

Sat, 29 Dec 2007 18:56:20 -0500

I see there are a lot of Monster cookie recipes on here, but there are slight variations of it. I prefer my mom's recipe. Yes I know it calls for a lot of ingredients and in large quantities, but what I like to do is make a large batch before Halloween--hence "Monster" cookies. I put the dough into containers and freeze. This helps me get a jump start on my holidays. I just give out the dough as gifts through the holidays. My family loves it because everyone loves them, but no one wants to take the time to make them. -- posted by Erin Harris

Pumpkin Spice Bars

Fri, 30 May 2008 19:40:31 -0400

I found a recipe in a Raley's magazine, but found it wasn't all I expected. After some massive modification, voici! My first original recipe! My oven is unusually slow, so I recommend keeping a close watch on the time; it shouldn't be too moist, and it shouldn't be cookie-like either. Add chocolate chips for an extra kick! -- posted by Rowenna

Sugar-Free Pumpkin Cookies

Tue, 10 Jun 2008 16:38:19 -0400

These cookies are so good, and they taste a little bit like pumpkin pie. They have a cake-like texture, but they are moist. I make them for my mother-in-law, primarily, because she is diabetic, and she adores them. We live at high altitude (6,800-ish ft.), and they work fine. *Note*: Do not flatten them before putting them in the oven. They do not change shape (flatten) themselves, but I think that helps them keep their moisture when they're stored. -- posted by Greeny4444

Oatmeal Pumpkin Cookies

This makes a lot of cookies. I got this recipe online and adjusted it for taste. There are many pumpkin cookie recipes here, but I think this one is different. It is all stuff you usually have in your pantry. This is great with chocolate chips and nuts in place of the raisins too. At the listed baking time you end up with a texture like a muffin top, but you can add time for a chewier cookie. -- posted by Jess4Freedom

Pumpkin Walnut Cookies With Caramel Cream Cheese Frosting

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 22:48:36 -0500

I picked up the latest issue of Taste of Home, Best-Loved Cookies and Bars. Because of the season, I wanted to make pumpkin cookies. When I couldn't decide between 2 recipes, I smooshed them together and made it my own, especially the frosting. A touch of maple syrup adds a hint of the holidays and the cream cheese adds a rich, creamy texture to the frosting and keeps it not too sweet. These are easy to make and sooo delicious. Don't be afraid of the thick mixture, especially after adding the walnuts. This produces a soft, moist, chewy, cake-like cookie. If you're not a stickler for smooth edges or are in a rush, refrigeration isn't necessary. It just stays more formed and doesn't create little points after being scooped (especially from a cookie scooper). These cookies don't spread out much, so you can place them closer together on the cookie sheet to bake more at a time. Cooking time is bake time + making the frosting. -- posted by caffeine junkie

Vampire Cookies

Fri, 08 May 2009 12:27:40 -0400

These are fun cookies for Halloween or a vampire genre party.The cookies have a light vanilla and butter flavor to them, and are the perfect color to really set off the red of the filling. The have a slightly crisp edge and a soft, chewy center. When you take a bite and expose the jam, they really do look like theyre bleeding! They are baked at a slightly cooler temperature than some cookies, so they dont really brown during baking. Best if served the same day. I found this recipe on one of my favorite blogs, Baking Bites. -- posted by tammy dalton

Pumpkin Brownies

Sun, 11 Oct 2009 03:19:45 -0400

The recipe is from Nestle (I'm not taking credit for it) and it was sooo good that I had to post it here for safe-keeping. It originally called for vegetable oil which I subbed with applesauce as I do with all my baked goods to cut calories and I tweaked a few other things. This is perfect to make when you have only a little bit of pumpkin left! A little goes a long way for this recipe. NOTE: I just modified this recipe because I made it again, and used 1 oz Baker's bittersweet choclate instead of cocoa powder. Came out so much better! Sweeter and creamier. I think adding 1 tbsp milk or cream will give it a nice lustre too. -- posted by the80srule

from Kraft Food and Family 2009. My kids love to make and eat these. These are not a super sweet cookie... more of an almond shortbread. Tasty and creepy! They take about 25 minutes to bake at 325 in my oven. -- posted by HollyGolightly

Rice Krispy Jack O Lantern

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:13:20 -0400

This requires a bundt cake pan. It is fun and easy to make and the end result is so cute. Its great for parties because it uses four batches of the rice krispy treats recipe. Make the face with black colored icing or fondant. Orange , green and black food color will be required, I recommend using the food color paste that is used for cake decorating, buy it at the craft store. -- posted by aimbrulee

Thanksgiving Pumpkin Blondies

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 14:15:40 -0500

From The Best 50 collection of cookbooks. This is straight out of the Brownies and Blondies edition. A little of this goes a LONG way! Not really a blondie by my standards, but it passes off as an interesting bar-type dessert. PLEASE NOTE: Because most people are not really used to tasting molasses, it may take a few bites to fall in love with this recipe. I did not like it at all when I first tried it. But, after giving it a second bite, I found I can't get enough of it. This seemed to happen with EVERYONE who tried it. So, please, before giving an unhappy review, try it again. If you find that the molasses is just too much to handle, try cutting the topping ingredients in half. It really does make a lot of topping as it is. I hope you enjoy this! -- posted by the_cookie_lady

Boxing Day Bars

Mon, 28 Dec 2009 15:42:41 -0500

1. To give you that extra energy boost if you are one of those crazy boxing day shoppers! 2. Great recipe to make from leftover Halloween or Christmas candy or pick up the ingredients cheap on Boxing Day! This is my adaptation from a recipe originally published in Better Homes and Gardens... Feel free to substitute candies and let me know if it works (I'm thinking Snickers, chocolate covered cranberries, crushed oreo cookies... endless possibilities!) -- posted by Tanya Pants
