Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Truffles
Recipe from Sarah's Bake Studio
Halloween is all about the candy and nothing beats homemade pumpkin snikerdoodle truffles. They are smooth, sweet, and spicy with a distinct pumpkin flavor. These velvety treats can be stored up to 4 days in an airtight container but I doubt they will last that long.
Jack O'Lantern Treats
Recipe from Food, Family and Finds
These adorable Jack O'lantern rice krispie treats are a no bake sweet that can be made in a flash. Rice cereal is combined with butter, melted marshmallows and food coloring to form the base of the pumpkins. They are shaped using a mini bundt cake pan which gives them curves similar to those seen on a real pumpkin. A tootsie roll stem and green icing leaves decorate the top while black icing is used to draw on the face.
