I think you already know how I feel about Halloween. I LOVE IT but it makes me kinda sad. Why? Well, it’s like this, and I’m sorry for getting all sappy but…..

My kids are all grown up now and there are no costumes to make, pillow cases to fill with candy and pumpkins to carve. BOO HOO!

Fear not. I still ensure that Halloween enters my life every year. My office gals and I love to participate in our annual Halloween fundraisers for the United Way. This year we are hosting a table and selling baked goods and silent auction items. Truth be told, I work with some amazing ladies and a few of them are Cannoli Queens. We kill it with those babies every year and raise a ton of money selling them.  Come on…homemade cannoli?  Who can resist?

AND…..I volunteered to make this very special spooky treat – BOO BARK – to add a little Halloween spirit into our fundraising effort.

How adorable is this? AND LOOK!  I had another reason to use up those candy eyes that I ran around town looking for the other day. In fact, I went back to the store to clear them out just in case I didn’t have enough for the bark.

I’m now considered an EYEBALL horder.

Someone please help me. I know there’s a person out there who would see “eye to eye” with me. Ha Ha.

As far as I can SEE, these little treats are a hit. You can mix and match your toppings and melting chocolate colours and flavours. It’s super easy to make and LOOK …..when you break it apart your chocolate can look you straight in the eye while you are eating it.

Brilliant right?

Here’s looking at you kid.
