Greetings from Bessie!

Hello y’all ;).  I’m on vacation and feeling guilty that I haven’t posted in some time.  We had vacations plans … things had to be changed … left five days earlier than planned.  My kitchen counter was left covered with half-finished projects and supplies for more projects.  Please accept my apology for my absence … things will be changing!

I’ve been in Tennessee, Virginia, Kentucky and Indiana visiting family and sightseeing.  A few days ago we stayed with extended family in Rutledge, Tennessee and met Bessie …

she says “Hello y’all” 🙂   Bessie and the rest of the herd are the neighbors of Jim and Christine … nice neighbors!

I just wanted to check in with everybody and say that I’ll be posting soon!

I ♥ your comments!

Halloween/Fall Peanut Butter Treats

Halloween will be here in just three days!  Are you prepared?

We usually get 100-200 Trick-or-Treaters each year.  I brought 22 bags of candy home from the store and hid them … I know that if a bag gets opened up, it will disappear 😉

Today, I am sharing a few quick and easy treats that have one thing in common … peanut butter!

Nutter butter bats

I made these Nutter Butter bats last year and they are my most popular treat this year!

Nutter Butter Zombie Eyeballs

Nutter Butter Acorns

Nutter Butter Acorns are so easy to make … this is the “2012 Acorn” … possibly my favorite acorn!

My first acorn … a version that I’ve seen done so many different ways … can’t go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter!
