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.

And off I go into the depths of my test kitchen, wish me luck!!!
