The other day I was looking for an easy dinner and just happened to have a can a Pillsbury Grands in my fridge. I came across this recipe in a quest to find something good and easy for dinner. It tasted heavenly and made my husband really happy. That's what a call a incredible dinner.

Yummy Eyes

I try to find something fun and spooky to make for a Halloween treat every year. My favorite, thus far, has been Peanut Butter Eyeballs. Oh my goodness. If you love peanut butter cups you will definitely enjoy these eyeballs!

You will need:

- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 2 cups powered sugar
- 2 or 3 cups of white chocolate chips
- A bag of M&Ms separated into colors. (Keep the brown, green, and blue to use as pupils.)
- Red gel icing

In a large bowl mix the peanut butter and butter together until smooth. Add the powered sugar. Once all three ingredients are mixed together make 1-inch balls. Place balls on wax paper that is on a cookie sheet and freeze for at least an hour.

When the peanut butter balls are done in the freezer, melt the white chocolate chips by placing them in a pan and then put that pan in one that is slightly larger and half full of water. Stir the chips until they are smooth and creamy.

Pick up the peanut butter balls with a toothpick and dip them in the melted chocolate. Let the excess drip off and place it back on the wax paper. Add an M&M to the top while it is still wet. Put in the fridge to cool.

Once they have cooled use the red gel icing (that comes in a tube) to make the eyes look bloodshot. Chill until served.

And that's all...unless you have a dessert problem, like me, and in that case your next step would be to not eat them all yourself. :)

Mummy Pizza

Today I have been going through my old pictures and reminiscing. As I was lost in the past I came across these mummy pizzas that I made last year for Halloween. They are simple to make. I used mini bagels, marinara sauce, string cheese for the wrappings and black olives for the eyes. I then stuck them in the oven at around 375 until the cheese melted and slightly browned. At the party we took them took they were snatched up faster than when witch grows a hairy wart.
