Butterfinger Skulls Halloween Recipes & Treats Made Easy

September 24, 2017 in Food

 

I can’t believe it’s almost Halloween. It literally feels as if 2017 has flown right by! This my favorite time of year, and now that it’s officially fall so I can finally break out the seasonal decor and recipes.

Before the Halloween parties head into full swing, I decided to try out a few new Halloween themed treats. Walmart already had out the Halloween decor and while there I saw that Butterfinger has an awesome new candy called Butterfinger Skulls, so of course, that meant the wheels in my head started turning!

I picked up the regular Butterfingers, along with the Butterfinger Skulls, headed home and quickly got to work! (I seriously couldn’t contain my excitement and I wanted to make sure I was done before the older kids got home).

Butterfinger Brownie Goo

So truthfully they were supposed to be regular brownies. However, after a mishap (i.e. wrestling with my two year old and forgetting I have something in the oven), I decided to revamp and use what I had left and created goo instead (well it sort of created itself!).

  • Butterfinger Bars (you can crush them, however, I didn’t)
  • 2 1⁄4cups flour
  • baking powder
  • salt
  • butter
  • brown sugar
  • eggs

 

  1. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl, with an electric mixer at medium speed, combine butter and brown sugar.
  3. Beat in eggs and vanilla until smooth.
  4. Stir in flour mixture and 1 cup of crushed butterfingers bars.
  5. Spread in greased 13×9 inch baking pan. Sprinkle remaining crushed Butterfinger bars over top of batter.
  6. Bake at 350ºF for 30-35 minutes or until done.

Once everything is mixed bake on 350 degrees for 30-35 minutes. In order to get the extra sticky/tackiness of the brownie make sure you place whole bars and bake for 40-45 minutes.

Pirate Pretzels

This was done on a complete whim. My kids absolutely love pretzels, and I wanted a neat way to incorporate the two. I will say I did different variations of this, with different brands of pretzels, and the square ones worked the best.

Instagram post 2194548841638189362_4152450831 I love having people over during the holidays as much as possible. (Ad)The last two months of the year allow us to really catch up with family and friends who are FINALLY able to get time off to visit. 
A plumbing disaster would be worst thing that could happen when company is over; but you know Murphy’s Law; whatever can happen will happen. 
Guess what? Last week sh*t happened, and was nothing short of embarassing! Because I want to save you the same embarrassment I had, I’ve partnered with Mr. Rooter to help ensure that you don’t encounter the same embarrassing plumbing mishap I did! Here are a few DIY plumbing tips to help you during the holidays:

Toilets: Make sure the bathroom is stocked with extra TP, soap, and a candle to eliminate unwanted smells. Make sure your guest know NOT TO flush baby wipes or other items that could clog it. If it does get clogged, make sure you use a quick repetitive motion and watch for water movement to indicate everything is all clear. To clean can mix 1 cup of baking soda with 15 drops of tea tree essential pol and 15 drops of lemon essential oil. Let the mixture sit for 30 minutes, scrub then flush. 
What about grease! We all joke about the coffee can under or next to the sink. Well it’s there for a reason! Make sure you always pour fats, oils and grease into a grease holder after cooling off. Likewise, never let starchy foods go down the drain, because they can turn pasty and clog it-a sink strainer should be in place to help trap food and debris. 
What are some tips that you use to make sure your plumbing is in tip top shape during the holidays? #MrRooter

The hustle and bustle of our everyday lives, long work hours and five kids have us wanting to have moments like this. We love to decorate our home, and we love anticipating the smiles on our kid’s faces when they walk in the door to see the house is officially ready for Christmas!

Campbell’s® Chicken Noodle Soup is just what we need to make this night even better! We can spend a guilt-free evening prepping the house, with a feel-good comforting meal!

Instagram post 2193054120649578714_4152450831 Toys are a rare commodity in our home. With five kids we are very intentional about the products that we buy. We try to limit the amount of plastic toys they receive and the amount of toys they get in general. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We’ve always asked that when people buy them gifts, buy things they need, like tooth brushes, socks, underwear, clothes. Of course some people give me weird looks; However, I know what my children love to play with and it’s always been my thought that I don’t want anyone to waste money on something they won’t like. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I learned very early on to pay attention to their individual interests throughout the year and make a note about the types of toys excite them and which ones dont. For the last ten years I haven’t missed a beat yet. How do you Handle gift giving/receiving? Do you give people preferences or just accept whatever they buy?
Instagram post 2192167261762937315_4152450831 I love to shop, and so does my teenage daughter. As she prepares to take the SAT this weekend, I’ve noticed how “stressed” she has become, even though she denies it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve tried to tell her that I get it, you want to get into the perfect college, have the perfect career and the perfect life. There’s nothing wrong with wanting it, and even putting in the hard work to do it. But what happens if there is a set back? How can you handle it emotionally/mentally/physically? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As much as I want her to succeed I want her to be happy and stress free. I told her looking for the right college is like shopping. Of course you’ll find the perfect one that you think fits you to a tee, but when you get in front of a mirror, something is just not quite right. You aren’t sure what, you know it looks good on paper and you, but it just doesn’t feel right. Do you continue with the purchase knowing you’re only semi happy or do you move on? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve tried to let her know that it’s okay to keep your options open. Don’t put all of you eggs in one basket. And most importantly; don’t stress. The right school and program is out there waiting for you. You just have to keep shopping.
