Check out Canadian Living’s Creepy Witch’s Fingers. This style of cookie shows up in all the Halloween mags and books. It is so popular I just had to try making them from scratch myself! This recipe uses a very traditional cookie dough and I like that it adds some almond favour with some extract. I […]
Halloween Treat: Attack of Vampiric Pumpernickel Bats!
This weekend we had the crappiest weather! Dark and stormy, right out of a scary movie. As a result, I got into a comfort food-making mood.

Now these are true finger foods! I got this idea from a Halloween magazine I bought that I just can not find anywhere online! They recommend using breadstick dough but I had some leftover whole wheat dough I wanted to try using instead: I used this recipe for whole wheat bread machine pizza dough. Do not […]
