Monster Eye Brownie Pops

We made these fun Halloween treats for our co-workers. You start with the "easy" Seriously Fudgy Brownie Mix add water, bake in pan with parchment paper, cool/cut/roll, & add sticks. Then dip in a layer of melted chocolate, vanilla, & colored sprinkles. Wrap in treat bags & tie with curling ribbon. ENJOY!!

The combo of the brownie with chocolate & crunch from the sprinkles is superb. Also try the Chocolate Raspberry Brownie Mix, it's like eating those chocolate raspberry sticks.

Candy Tree

Make the "Candy Tree" for Halloween! It's a blast to paint, design tags, and attach lots of candy & spooky trinkets with bright colored ribbons. This is so fun to display for the Holiday or watch items disappear as the little ones Trick-or-Treat.

Scentsy

We love Scentsy! The scents are fantastic. Still can't believe how many people have never tried them. Turn your warmer on, place two or three sections of a Scentsy Bar into the warmer dish, and ENJOY! Of course then you need the Scentsy Room Spray to add a touch of frangrance whenever you want.

Christmas Cottage is a great new scent for Fall/Winter. Cherry Limeade was yummy for Spring/Summer. Our classic favorites are Coconut Lemongrass, Blueberry Cheesecake, Washabi Ginger, & Sticky Cinnamon Bun.
