Halloween treats

 Super easy Halloween treats include dipping pretzels!
So easy to dip the heart pretzels in white or brown almond bark and sprinkle.
Also used green candy melts on square pretzels then placed a candy corn on them!
I place a few in  snack size zip locks then print free labels online!

Irish Breakfast- St. Patricks!

Shamrock hole in one!
My mom always made regular hole in ones but now I have discovered you can jazz them up for holidays!
 Use cookie cutter to cut out shamrock and green food coloring for your egg!

 The finished product doesn't look as nice as it does while cooking but you get the idea!
My toddler did not go crazy for it either! She did however like the shamrock toast below!
I will save this for future when she is older though!!

Pepperoni rolls

All you need is some frozen bread dough, pepperoni, mozzarella, Parmesan cheese, olive oil and some Italian herbs.
Buy some frozen bread dough. They come in these "log" shapes, in plastic bags, sold in the freezer section next to the frozen biscuits.

Loosely cover the frozen bread dough with plastic wrap. Allow dough to thaw for a few hours at room temperature.
Here's a tip: spray the plastic wrap with cooking oil, or brush with cooking oil and lay it, oiled side down on the bread dough. This allows the bread dough to rise and move easily under the plastic wrap without it sticking or holding back the dough.

When dough is completely thawed it will be puffed up a bit.
Roll dough out to approximately 11 x 11 square.

One frozen dough log makes one pepperoni roll.
Brush dough with olive oil or whatever cooking oil you prefer.


Lay pepperoni on dough covering entire surface.
 Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese.
 Next, sprinkle with shredded Parmesan cheese.
 Lightly sprinkle with Italian herbs...basically, some dried oregano, parsley and basil. Be careful, not too much....oregano can be very strong and you don't want too much!
 Add a sprinkling of garlic powder.
 Roll up dough starting at one edge of square.
 Place rolls on baking sheet, leaving space between.
 Brush some melted butter on top of uncooked pepperoni roll.

You do not need to let rise. Bake it right away. It will rise up in the oven perfectly.

Bake at 375 degrees for approx. 15 to 25 minutes.
Oven temps. and times may vary.
When done, top of roll should be golden brown and you should be able to make a tapping sound on the crust with your fingernail...just the same as when baking bread.
Make sure you allow pepperoni roll to cool completely before serving.

I found this on pinterest and got it from the link below. I made it because I had all the ingredients. Though my dough was wheat and I didn't have a whole lot of mozzarella cheese. It was good, though husband and I thought we might like marinara dipping sauce.

Apple ramekins

 My own concoction!
Can of apple pie? mixed with some oats, then I used crescent rolls dough and put some in the bottom of my ramekins. Then cut some and laced the tops!
 Cook at 350, for 20 minutes or so! 
Fun easy treat!
