This one got great reviews. It was the first time I had made it. Whew.. didnt get to try it before I served it up so good thing it didnt cause me to lose my reputation. Ha Ha. I made it just as written with the store bought crust and all....The only change was that I made mine more oblong to fit my rectangle pizza stone...oh yeah and I used a pizza stone.:) Enjoy!

Oreo Pumpkin Cookie Balls

Here is the recipe link:

 I changed it up by tinting the white chocolate with orange food coloring and then  drizzling with milk chocolate.

Peanut Butter Fudge Pumpkins

These were super cute. I saw the recipe on Pinterest which by the way did not turn out to be an edible recipe! So I reused the peanut butter fudge recipe from further down on my blog. Added orange food coloring and rolled into one inch balls. It was very easy to take a toothpick and press in the "lines" and then top the mini pumpkins with a chocolate chip "stem"

Kabobs!

I love these fruit kabob ideas. Made this one the other day with cheese and grapes.

I have made this several times in the past...

                                                 

Posh Piggies



I just love these. Very tasty. Only difference is because it is fall I did leaf cut outs. The sauce was perfect for it. But I think for a brunch you could even just have warm maple syrup and breakfast sausage. Here is the link.
