Thread: October Recipe Challenge...Boo!

Welcome to our Monthly Recipe Challenge!

October's recipe challenge is going to be:

Grab Your Favorite Halloween Candy/Chocolate and Incorporate It Into a Recipe. It can be a dessert, it can even be a savory dish (chicken mole for instance)...whatever you'd like it to be. Try to be as creative as possible and since Halloween is just around the corner, you can even make it SCARY!

Here is how the challenge works:

To enter the challenge, simply reply to this post with the recipe you plan on making. Once you make it, take a photo of your dish, post the recipe in the "Monthly Recipe Challenge" forum, and tell us about the recipe you chose. Did you love it or hate it? Did it need something different? Next time you make it would you change anything?

No matter how the dish turns out, we will have a lot of fun trying new ingredients, testing our pallettes, and exploring new cooking adventures together!

Each participant will receive the gorgeous new Magenta Ribbon Award to "SWEETEN" up their user profile with!

Not sure how easy it will be, coming up with one for this.... Trying to keep being healthy dang it.

It doesn't have to be a Sweet Treat, does it?

I'm contemplating some Fall Soup for tomorrow...

Nope, you can make whatever you'd like but remember, you must use a candy or chocolate...so yes, can be a savory dish as well!

Darn! I've been so busy this month (and it isn't going to let up anytime soon), I haven't been able to cook or bake anything!

hmm...well, the calendar says you still have two weeks left to do this challenge! c'mon now!!

Would Banana Bread be close enough to sweet? I don't do candy. :'(

Oh, I can put an M&M on the top of it... would that count?

Can't wait to see what y'all come up with.

sounds like a very creative banana bread so far...can't wait to see!!

Only a few more days left in October so get your recipe posted soon, gang!!

When I stumbled across this KIT KAT CAKE online, I knew I just had to make one for myself! This incorporates some of my favorite candies…M&M's (dark chocolate and peanut butter ones), and Kit Kats, on a chocolate cake. I also added some S'more Candy corn at the base of the cake.

I'm going to bring it into work tomorrow to share otherwise I just might eat the entire thing myself!

Recipe:
This was very easy because I used a boxed yellow cake mix. Simply make the cake--I baked two round layers. Take some chocolate frosting and frost the cake. Then just stick the Kit Kat bars all around the cake and fill the top with M&M's. That's it!
