happy halloween


Happy Halloween! 

I can hardly believe it's the end of October.  Before long we'll be singing Christmas carols and then ushering in a New Year.  But first things first.  Today I'm sharing with you a recipe for a halloween (or insert whatever holiday) party mix.  The first time I made this was many years ago, but it left a good enough lasting impression that I whipped it up again this past weekend.  It's quite versatile in adding whatever mixin's you want.  Just be prepared to put on your elastic waist pants while consuming, as it is quite ADDICTIVE. 


Here's Bianca waiting for all the little goblins and gouls tonight.  I hope you all have a chocolatey filled Halloween night.
