GIRL TALK

—— BOO Y'ALL ! ——-

Since we have moved to Holly Lake Ranch, we seldom have the joy of "Trick or Treaters!"

I always loved the cute spooks and lovely fairies..... not to mention a witch or two!

Just in case you DO have some this year, I am including a Crockpot Candy recipe that should take care of a bunch of tricksters!

CROCKPOT CANDY

1 16 ounce Jar of salted dry roasted peanuts

1 16 ounce unsalted dry roasted peanuts

1 ( 4 oz. pkg.) German Sweet Chocolate

1 ( 12 oz. pkg. ) milk chocolate chips

1-1/2 lbs. white almond bark ( 1 package is that amount!)

Put all the ingredients in the crockpot inlayers as they are written above.

Cook on low for 2 hours.

Stir until all is one color ( light brown) and drop on waxed paper. Let cool

thoroughly. This recipe makes about 100 pieces when dropped with a

teaspoon.

BITE SIZED APPLE PIES

Tiny apple pies for little trick or treaters!

1/2 cup sugar

2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 pkg. refrigerated pie pastry

3 Tablespoon butter, melted and divided

2 medium tart apples, each cut into 8 wedges

In a small bowl, combine sugar and cinnamon; set aside 1 Tbsp.

On a lightly floured surface, unroll pastry. Brush with two

Tbsp. butter; sprinkle with remaining sugar mixture.

Cut each sheet into eight 1 inch strips, about 8 inches long.

Wrap one strip around each apple wedge, placing sugared

side of pastry against the apple.

Place on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Brush tops

with remaining butter; sprinkle with reserved sugar mixture.

Bake at 425 for 13-15 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.

Serve warm! ( if possible between door bells! )
