Well, folks... another Halloween is done and over with and in the books! :) We enjoyed a successful Halloween weekend filled with pumpkin carving, dressing up, trick or treating, and costume party attending. 







I have to admit from our fun family traditions to the costumes and the food, Halloween definitely ranks in my top 3 of all of the holidays. 







This year Little Miss went as a princess from a very popular Disney movie (ahem, I am pretty sure we saw at least 10 other little girls dressed the same as her in the course of our 45 minutes of trick or treating). 







And I allowed my three year old daughter to choose my costume this year, and let's just say it was pretty darn magical. ;) (Trust me- you all will definitely want to click on that link and see what I dressed up as!)  







But every Halloween it seems that we are left with more candy than we know what to do with. If you happened to have found yourself in the same boat this Halloween weekend, then I have some good news for you all- these easy to make Halloween Stash Devil's Food Cookies are the perfect way to use up that leftover trick or treat loot...

Fall Favorites Foodie Swap



Earlier this month I signed up to do the Fall Favorites Swap from Mia at The Chronicles of Chaos and Kim from The K.O. Jewelry.  We were each matched up with a swap partner based on what our favorite thing about fall is.  Yes, shockingly one of my favorite things about the fall season is the food.  ;)  I was matched with Kristen from This Radiant Life.  Kristen and I corresponded quite a bit back and forth before putting together and sending out our packages.  Kristen sent me some fabulous fall foodie goodies.  In addition to two huge bags of candy corn and autumn mix candies, she also sent me this yummy Gingerbread Cookie coffee from Dunkin Donuts...
I even broke my steadfast rule of not opening a new bag coffee until I had finished the one I already have open just to try this.  ;) I couldn't help myself.

Kristen sent me 4 (well, 3- one broke in transit) fall colored ramekins and some cute apple tea towels.  I am thinking maybe some pumpkin brulee for the ramekins? :)

She also sent me an assortment of four different fall inspired sprinkles. I used one of them to decorate the carrot pumpkin bundt cake I took to my parents' Halloween costume party.  (Oh, that recipe is coming to the blog VERY soon friends. ;) )

Want to see what I sent Kristen's way? ;)  Here is a sneak peek ^^^ of the box that I sent her.  Hope on over to Kristen's blog and check out her swap post to find out!
