Halloween is a really big deal in my house. The first jack-o-lantern went out in early September. The little one loves Halloween activities and recently found a great Halloween recipe book. One “recipe” we tried out last week was for slimy swamp creatures. I hesitate to call it a recipe because it involves Jell-o and gummie worms:

Take one packet of green Jell-o, prepare per instructions…once the Jello-o has set, break it up and stir in gummie worms (we added Swedish Fish as well) and voila…Slimy Swamp Creatures!

…to work off the eat-fest that took place this weekend, but it was worth it.
We really did overdo it…

BBQ at PJ’s

Fried up fish at Ted’s

We’ll need to put the dino on a diet for the rest of the week.

..well, if you don’t eat the entire bag.

Spotted at CVS, Weight Watcher’s Pecan Crowns. 1 POINT a piece!!!! Chocolate with caramel for 1 freakin’ point! The next time I pick up a bag I can eat without screwing up my diet. Sadly the first bag disappeared after 1 day…there were only six pieces, but still…I gorged:(

The little one and I stepped into candy heaven at the Chocolate Festival on Saturday. So many yummy treats, and lots of great goodies to give the Easter Bunny some tasty ideas…or if you so desired you could actually EAT the Easter Bunny:

There were so many vendors at the Chocolate Festival, but one that really caught my eye was Metropolitans Chocolate, their hook is nut free chocolate!!!! The little guy and the big guy are allergic to tree nuts and just about everything under the candy umbrella seems to be produced near tree nuts…it’s not easy finding okay candy.

I’ve never heard of Metropolitans Chocolate…their website says they’re in New York , but the woman at the vendor table said they were in Vermont…regardless if you have nut allergies in your life, this is a great place to contact.
