Not sure if you know, but earlier this year started catering for those impromptu and last minute parties with our " Instant Download " party printables. Basically, they do exactly what it says on the tin - You pay and simply "walk away" with your printable download. No waiting. No queuing. No fuss. Which means you can shop 24/7 and get these printable goodies any time of day (whatever your timezone!). And because these instant download printables have been so popular, we decided to add a few more to the shop!! Woo-Hoo, did you say?! :)
DIY Candy Corn Halloween Oreo Cookies Recipe
The title of the post is a bit of a mouthful - in many ways than one! These candy-corn chocolate covered Oreo cookies are really simple to make (despite the long title). They look super fabulous as a Halloween gift, party favor, or desserts table treat. But most importantly, they taste absolutely scrumptious!! It's also a great recipe or Halloween project to make with the kids . I made them with my 6 year old, so if she can do this, then I'm sure anyone can! ;)
