Halloween Ideas

I can't believe tomorrow is Halloween already.  Thought I'd round up a few Halloween favorites seen around my blog as I didn't get a chance to bake up anything this time around.

Halloween Sugar Cookies

Pumpkin Streusel Muffins

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

What are you planning to bake for Halloween tomorrow?

My nephew was over at my place on Saturday and I used his request to bake something together to finally tackle the infamous whoopie pies.  I've been bookmarking so many whoopie pie recipes that I knew I needed to just own the book, Whoopie Pies.  Was so excited when my brother's girlfriend gave me a copy as a thank you gift for a cake I made.

First recipe out of the book and it was a hit.  I don't know why I waited this long to make my first whoopie pie.  Expect to see a lot more soon!
