fun halloween baking to do w/ kids

in Austin Babies

I was googling this morning for something to do with the boys and came across this recipe.  It was stuff I had in the house and the boys had fun helping.  Just thought I'd share!

Black Cat Cookies

1 box chocolate cake mix

1 cup peanut butter (i used 1/2 crunchy 1/2 smooth)

1/3 cup water

2 eggs

m&m's/red hots/twizzlers... whatever candy you want for decoration 

Beat eggs, water and pb until mixed.  Slowly add in cake mix.  Form into 1in balls and flatten a bit.  The recipe said to use 2 m&m's for eyes, a red hot for nose and then use a fork to press in whiskers.  Pinch out two ears at the top with fingers.  Bake at 375 for 8 minutes.

I didn't use a nose, I had those pull apart twizzlers in my candy basket so I cut them up and made whiskers.   

(these are photos of the ones I made... the boys' didn't really look like blacks cats but they sure had fun decorating them!)

    man- you guys are fast!  it took me like 20 minutes.  Is it my Mac or Safari?  When I switched over to Firefox, I was able to post the photo but only after I did it in HTML.  Am I doing something wrong??

    thanks again!!

    Those sound yummy and look so cute.. but peanut butter? :sobs:

    And it just occurred to me that once Cam is of real trick-or-treating age, a peanut allergy is going to make Halloween a big fat PITA. Sad Hadn't thought of that one before...
