Brownies with Candy Corn M&M's

It's almost Halloween! 

Are you all ready? Are you dressing up?

Whose dressing up as what?

Every year I make every one's costumes. 

I normally dress up but this year things just got away from me.

 I did however make the two babies their costumes. My three year old is going to be a witch and her baby sister is going as her black cat.

Cute huh? 

Well since Brownies are one of my favorite desserts I thought 

I should make you some Halloween brownies!

I picked up some candy corn M&M's from the store this week....my hubby loves candy corn.

They were perfect for making him brownies. 

I prepared brownie mix as usual (out the box).

After pouring the mix in a greased baking dish, 

I sprinkled the candy corn M&Ms over the top.

The candy melts into the brownies. After the brownies are done, take them out

of the oven and add more candy corn M&Ms to the top. 

Serve warm.

These brownies didn't last very long. 

These were quick and easy and perfect for your little goblins. 

Let the Cauldron BUBBLE......

My three year old is going to be a witch this year for Halloween. As always I will be making their costumes. TuTu's all the way.....girls are fun.

Well we found a cute, realistic looking broom and she begged for it.  So we did as any parents do and we did what the child wanted.  After all she is three and her cries are LOUD. 

We left the store with the broom and you know she wanted to hold it....so once again, we did as she requested.  Well for you parents out there, you should know that giving your child what he or she ask for does not always guarantee the absence of LOUD crying.

The tears began....and crying and talking do not mix. 

We don't speak cry as my husband would say. This child cried for what seemed like an eternity.  Realistically it may have been two minutes, but it truly seemed like forever.

After calming the spoiled child down, we could finally understand her. 

"My broom is broke, daddy.  It's not working.  It won't fly" she said in her saddest voice ever....including big puppy dog eyes (these along with tears only work on daddies)

Daddy quickly replied, "Call you're I-Ya (grandma) and borrow hers. She's got plenty".

She did just that too. She called her I-ya.

I-ya would not loan out her broom.....she said it was her busy season and needed it. 

although I-ya wouldn't loan out the broom,

the child was happy and the world was good again.

I-ya's fix everything!

Since my mother-in-law claims to have her costume on year round and brooms on standby at a moments notice (her words NOT mine), 

I thought why not make some witch themed cookies 

for her and those she wishes to cast spells upon at work. 

Every witch needs a cauldron, so cauldron cookies was what I made.

I did warn her that black cookies turn your mouth black....she was NOT the least bit concerned. 

She's so easy to please.......I wonder if she cast a spell on me to say that?
