Halloween inspiration

While browsing the archives on the Country Living website I found some great Halloween decorating ideas, crafts and recipes. I am loving the bright orange accent to a black and while background. That three layered cake is great isn't it?

Good afternoon! Inspired by the blogger Bakerella, I made an experimental treat last night.

Here is how it went.

1. I made a normal batch of brownies.
2. I spooned it out into bite size servings.
3. I rolled each spoonful into a ball.
4. I melted a bag of chocolate chips.
5. I dipped each ball into the melted chocolate, then placed them onto wax paper to cool.

One thing to note if you want to try it: you will need to dip the balls into the chocolate right away so they don't dry out; mine were a little dry. Or you could under-cook the brownies a little. Also when I make these again I will try white chocolate for a contrast to the strong chocolaty flavor brownies already have. The end result was still very yummy! Happy experimental baking!

New papier mache witch

Soon to be up in the shop, unless I can't live without her. ;) And that is very likely since she, in my opinion, is the best one I've done yet. EDIT: she's SOLD but keep checking back at the shop for more to come! :)
