Fig Bars (Fig Newtons)

Ever since I was a kid I have had an obsession with Fig Newtons.  Maybe it's because my grandma always kept them in the pantry for my grandpa and she would let us snack on them when we came by to visit (ok sometimes I snuck them without asking).  Occasionally I even hid in the pantry while playing hide and go seek just so I could grab a newton!  So when I found a recipe for Fig Bars buried in my grandma's cookbook I knew I had to make them!  

These taste like the traditional fig flavored bars.  I love the way they turned out and I'm excited to try this recipe with lots of different flavors!

Follow along and I'll show you how to make these tasty little treats! 

Pumpkin Pie Milkshake

I have had my eye on this recipe for several weeks now and I finally got around to making it.  This was a total hit!  I found the recipe at Our Best Bites which is one of my favorite food blogs!  This recipe makes a large glass of the most perfect pumpkin pie milkshake ever!  Seriously!

Looking for a tasty Halloween snack?  This takes less than 10 minutes to make and this sweet, salty treat really hits the spot!  The bright festive colors make it a great Halloween giveaway!  I got this recipe from Your Home Based Mom where she has tons of great recipes and ideas.  Here is how to make it:

Caramel Corn

 Yum!  I love this recipe.  You really can't go wrong with popcorn, brown sugar and corn syrup.  But this must be the best, easiest caramel corn ever.  This recipe comes from my Grandma's old cookbooks filled with handwritten recipes and I was delighted to find it.  You may even want a double batch, since it gets eaten so fast.
