How's that for a title?  I'd seen the idea for chocolate peanut butter Bugles and thought they'd be perfect in candy corn colors.  Now, before we go any further, I've eaten enough candy corn over the years to know that these aren't the "official" candy corn colors in the proper order.  I know that it should be yellow on the bottom, then orange, and white on the tips.  However, I wanted to keep some of the yellow of the Bugles snacks showing so I had to use the orange at the base to keep the peanut butter in.   Believe me, though, once you taste these yummy little treats, you won't care that the color order has been switched around! Check these snacks out... Here's what you'll need... Bugles snacks Peanut butter Orange and White Melting chocolates Here's what to do... 1.  Start by filling each Bugle with a little bit of peanut butter.  I didn't do anything fancy, just used a knife to spread a little bit into each one.   (You'll find ...

I've been making this recipe for several years now and it's always a big hit  ( I think I originally wrote it down from one of those church cookbooks where everyone contributes recipes).  You get all the yumminess of caramel apples, but in a creamy "salad" form.  Plus it's a great way to use up all those apples you get while apple picking ~ we're about 20 pounds into the 50 pounds we picked a few weeks ago! Check it out... Here's what you need for the party-sized bowl I usually make (recipe can be halved) : 6-7 medium sized apples 20 fun-sized Snickers bars 1 cup chopped peanuts 16 oz Cool Whip (I use light.  It still tastes great and helps offset all those Snickers!) 20 oz can crushed pineapple Here's what to do... 1.  Core and dice your apples into about 1/2" -3/4" pieces.  I use both red and green apples and usually leave the skin on, but you can peel them if you like.  Cut up your Snickers bars into pieces about the same size as your app...

As I mentioned on our Facebook page, the kids and I went apple picking yesterday at a local orchard and came home with 50 pounds of apples!  We'll eat some just fresh and make some into Homemade Applesauce , but we knew we wanted to make some tasty desserts with all those fresh apples.  Luckily, a friend had just pinned  this Fresh Apple Cake by A. Liz Adventures ~ what timing!  An easy recipe using fresh apples and I had all the ingredients on hand. Doesn't this look yummy? Now wait till you see how easy it is to make.   The kids did 90 percent it themselves (which is good because I was the one who had to carry the 50 pounds of apples through the orchard!) Here's what you'll need... * fresh apples (sliced about 1/4" thick ~ we kept the skin on and used about 7 apples) * box of yellow cake mix * 1 stick of butter Here's what to do... 1.  Spray a 9x13" baking dish with cooking spray. (You could easily do it in a smaller dish too, just adjust the amount of ...

Years ago at a fall festival,  I remember a story teller telling a really cute story about the star that you see when you cut into an apple.  When the kids and I came home from apple picking at the orchard today, I thought it would be a fun time to share the little legend.  However, although I remember the basic premise, I couldn't remember any of the details.  Googling led me to several versions of  "The Little Red House with No Windows, No Doors, and a Star Inside" but I couldn't find the story I'd heard.  Finally, I came across this version on a site for Girl Scouts.  It was short, but was the closest to the one I'd heard a long time ago.  I decided to elaborate on it a little bit and make my own version.  It was a big hit with my kids and I like how it includes a little lesson on how hard work and patience can bring you rewards.
