A couple of weeks ago I shared with you a recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blondies that combine some chocolate with the great taste of pumpkin.  The mix of chocolate and pumpkin is fabulous, so naturally I couldn’t resist these Pumpkin Swirl Brownies which combine the great taste of pumpkin with  chocolate brownie.  Same great concept of melding two delicious flavors into one fabulous treat.

These brownies are a delicious treat for Halloween or  throughout the Holiday season.

It’s the beginning of a beautiful fall weekend . . . the air is crisp, but not too cold; and for the time being, the government is up and running.  Sounds like a great time to relax and enjoy this Brown Sugar Pecan Coffee Cake.  The mix of brown sugar cake topped with lots of crunchy pecans is heavenly.  It’s so easy to put together – what are you waiting for?

Note:  You’ll want to keep this recipe on-hand – it’s perfect for holiday entertaining.

To help you vamp things up a little, we’ve brewed up some Boo-tiful  Bling to make you The Ghostess With The Mostess!

Drink labels add a touch of fun to your Halloween festivities.  Whether you are having the big bash or just want to add some intrigue to your family dinner, these labels offer a chilling challenge. Serve with your favorite beverage.  I used Jones Orange Soda – the Green Apple  

I know some of you are looking at the title of this recipe and thinking “really, is this for real?”. But it works, I promise.
