Butterfinger Cupcakes

I love to make these cupcakes in October. The brown and orange of the Halloween sized mini-Butterfingers really inspires me.  They are so easy and yummy.  Enjoy!


Mix together:

1 box of white cake mix
1 sm box of vanilla pudding mix
1 cup of water
2 eggs (whites and yolks, even though it's a white cake)
1/4 cup of applesauce
1/4 cup of peanut butter

Frost with your favorite chocolate frosting.  Crush four mini Butterfingers and sprinkle over the top of the frosting.  Eat and enjoy!

Movie night, spooky night



October is upon us, and with it, Halloween.  To blend my love of holiday celebrations and movies I'd like to list my 'go to' list of movies that I watch during the month of October.  They aren't all scary movies and there aren't any gore fests on the list.  Some of the selections may surprise you and I'm sure you'll have some to add as well.  From the quirky, satirical choices like Mars Attacks and Tremors to the classics like It's the Great Pumpkin and Nightmare Before Christmas; from the suspense masterpieces like Psycho and Halloween to the Alien invasions, any of these movies will make your night.

Happy Haunting!
