Happy Halloween!

Hope you are all having a wonderful Halloween!  It's rainy here which is really sad for the trick-or-treaters.  It's also really sad for my thighs because guess who's going to be left eating all that Halloween candy?  Yup...this girl.

Knox had a little Halloween party this afternoon for all his friends.  Here's my lobster ready to greet all his tiny monster buddies!  I kept the menu simple and yummy, with tiny portions perfect for mommies and babies alike.  All the recipes are at the end of the post.


 

Nutter butter mummies.  So simple and adorable.

 

 

Pumpkin bisque shots.  Yummy and the babies loved them. 

 

Pumpkin mousse parfaits in mommy and baby sizes!


Blood orange soda...get it?  :)



Nutter Butter Mummies Recipe:
Melt a package of chocolate chips according to package directions. Dip Nutter Butter cookies into chocolate. Lay flat on wax paper to dry.  Melt a package of vanilla almond bark according to package directions. Transfer to Zip Lock bag and snip the corner.  Lay chocolate covered Nutter Butters on wax paper. Drizzle vanilla back and forth over cookie to make mummy bandages. Remember, its good to see some of the cookie still. Place 2 drops of vanilla chocolate for mummy eyes.

Pumpkin Soup Recipe:  I used this one but substituted evaporated skim milk for the cream.  It's still really rich so I prefer small portions.  Tiny espresso cups are the perfect serving. You can garnish each shot with a dollop of sour cream.
