Welcome back to my blog! I hope you are having a good weekend. Here in PA the weather has been great! We had frost last night but the daytime is nice and warm still. My friend sent me a package in the mail last week and it sure came in handy. It was SU's Paper Pumpkin for October. It was full of Halloween treat goodies. Jennifer had asked me if I would make her some treats for the goodie bags for her birthday party. I used to get the Paper Pumpkin years ago - I think they have come a long way! It didn't take too long to put these goodies together.
I just had to punch out the treats, glue them together and then decorate them. They had a lot of decorations including the stamps, dimensionals and even the twine.
Here is a close up of the individual treats.
Here is a picture of Jennifer and I making our Pumpkin Streusel Muffins.
They turned out so good! Joe is ready for me to make some more! If you are interested here is the recipe that I got from The Farmstand:
Mix -
1 stick of melted butter
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
Add -
2 eggs
2 tbsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp Pumpkin Pie Mix
Then add -
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup pure pumpkin
Fill muffin pan (makes 18) 3/4 full and top with the Streusel Mix
3/4 cup flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 stick melted butter
1/4 cup chopped pecans
Bake at 425 degrees for 5 minutes and then lower the temperature to 375 degrees for 15 minutes.
If you want to glaze them:
1 cup powder sugar
2 tbsp. milk

You can tell baking season is upon us. All Jennifer wants to do it cook and Joe wants to eat!! Have a great week!
Thanks for stopping by,
