Happy Halloween!
I've got a prize for whoever can identify the most candy wrappers used here (or whoever names them all first)

Trick or Treat
So, my favorite Spooktacular Holiday is coming up!
An entire night devoted to silly costumes and eating candy? Sign me up!
It seems like a good time to ask for wrapper donations. I can't do what I do without all of you kind folks who save up wrappers for me (I can only eat so much by myself). I can't use foil wrappers or anything with chocolate or caramel or something stuck to it, but other then that I will happily accept any and all types of candy wrappers. If you also manage to save the outside bag that the little fun size pieces come in, that would be awesome! Those are really great to work with.
Thank you in advance if you think of me and collect up some wrappers. I have a special candy themed holiday background I'll be sharing here on the blog this weekend, so stay tuned!

Candy Corn Recipe #3
Happy Halloween!!!!
In the spirit of the holiday I decided it would be a good time to feature the next installment of my candy corn project. Recipe #3 comes from the Farly and Sather's (makers of candy corn) website. When I first heard about 'Candy Corn Pretzel Salad' I admit I was scared; candy, cream cheese, pretzels and jello just don't seem like they should ever go together, but I couldn't stop thinking about it and found myself reaching for the necessary ingredients when I was at the grocery store yesterday.
The first layer is pretzels, sugar, and butter cooked together. I guess this is like making a graham cracker crust only with pretzels - that's justifiable. Plus it smelled pretty good cooking.
Layer two features coolwhip, cream cheese, sugar, and candy corn. It resembles my own candy corn concoction from the other day, so I guess I can't knock it.
Layer three is orange jello and more candy corn. I did mess up here and used a small box of jello instead of the big box, in my defense I don't think more jello was going to make this mess better. The only nice thing I have to say about this layer is that candy corn and pretzels are not the weirdest thing I've seen in Jello (That honor goes to corndog jello)
Here is a finished slice. The final report is that this dish is not as horrifying as I thought it would be. Special thanks to Derek and Kim for humoring me and eating a slice. With all the sugar it is really too sweet (even for me and my gigantic sweet tooth) and the salty pretzels just arent able to balance it out, especially once they are soaked in jello.
