Last Minute Halloween Baking

As always, this week was hectic at work.  I haven’t been too busy to notice, however, the scrumptious treats parading by my desk on a daily basis.  Home baked cookies, cupcakes decorated with orange and black icing, and let’s not forget the prepackaged candy intended to give out to young trick-or-treaters!  I am surrounded by this stuff! Of course I need to make sure it’s fit to give out to the kiddies knocking on my door Halloween night, am I right?!?

Well it has certainly inspired me to create some of my own tasty treats.  Now that the work week is over, I can concentrate on the fun part… getting my bake on!  And the opportunity to blog about it for my good friends over at InspirationBug.  Yeah!

Lets face it – Halloween gives us another excuse to indulge in sweet treats!  Since I don’t intend to costume up this year, I feel it is my responsibility to get into the spirit of Halloween by baking up some treats of my own.  I know it’s last minute, but I can pull it off!  Any leftovers will be shared with my colleagues on Halloween Day… and I can always hit the gym hard starting November 1st!!

Now, where to begin…….after some serious recipe searching, I have narrowed it down.  Who doesn’t like a good dirt cupcake? And those worms?? Love ’em! These look so gooey and are just one bite so you don’t feel guilty afterwards.

I made my own version of these Halloween Oreo’s at Valentines Day using gingerbread cookie dough and pink peppermint frosting – they were dee-lish!!  Of course I will be using orange food coloring in the frosting for these.
