Hot Chocolate.
It's 50 degrees here and I was about 10 minutes early for work, so I decided to stop at Starbucks for a hot chocolate... How do you people do that everyday? There was 100 people there... and since when can you be 15 minutes late for high school because you were buying a coffee?

Fifth order of business for the day?

Share some Fall Goodness with you lovelies.

Do you love a Pay Day like I do??

Well I have a perfect way for you to make your own.

Candy Corn + Peanuts = PayDay

Seriously, need a super fast fall snack? Just mix a bag of candy corn and a can of peanuts and it's pure addictive perfection. I brought my tailgate leftovers to work yesterday and you'd have thought I worked miracles. Nobody had any idea about this snack. Perfect to leave out in a bowl around the house.

Speaking of fall treats, remember last week when I was debating on attempting my first ever pumpkin flavored treat? Well, Well, Well, I did just that. Twice. And they were both delicious and quite possibly the easiest recipes ever. Fall Party? Tailgate? I've got you covered!!

Pumpkin Dip:
VIA
1 8 oz. Cream Cheese, Softened
1/2 Cup Canned Pumpkin
1/4 Cup Sugar
1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon

This seriously took two minutes to prepare and was a huge hit at the Tailgate.

Preheat Oven to 350.
In separate bowl combine dry ingredients: flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon, salt.
Cream butter in mixer and gradually add in sugars until fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla. Mix well.

Lastly, stir in chocolate chips.

Bake cookies 20-25 minutes or until lightly browned.

It made a ton so I ran out of room on my pans, so I put little chunks in a muffin pan. (Impatient Much?) They turned out even better as perfect little mini muffin in my opinion.

Just think if you added some to the muffin pan, then put a Pumpkin Hershey Kiss, then added some more on top and you had a Kiss filled muffin thang... Lawd, the wheels are turning. Might just have to try that little concoction!!

Enjoy!!
