In Time for Halloween: Pumpkin Spice Caramel Lollipops

I’m not really a pumpkin spice latte fan. But I do like big mugs of hot, comforting drinks to sip slowly while watching autumnlight dwindle. And a long-handled stirrer to twirl pensively (I’m an inveterate fiddler). So it suddenly dawned on me last week: why not make an edible stirrer? One that might produce a pumpkin-pie-spiced coffee to my liking?

Autumn is for caramel: that cozy golden hue fits the season perfectly. I’ve been cooking a lot of sugar lately, so I’m surprised I didn’t think of spiced, Halloween-appropriate candy sooner.

These caramels strike a balance between a truly hard lollipop and a softer, chewy caramel – I needed them firm enough to not get limp and sticky on a lollipop stick, but I also needed them soft enough to melt once swirled into hot coffee. To that end, it’s important to cook the caramel to the right temperature; if you stop at a lower temperature, it won’t harden properly. If it’s a hot day (which, if it’s fall, should be less of a concern), you can store them in the refrigerator to ensure they stay firm and take them out shortly before serving. However, if you’re looking for soft caramels, you can certainly cook them to around 250 degrees F, and you’ll get the chewy, gooey kind of caramel that needs to be wrapped in wax paper. If you’re still in need of something sweet to hand out on Halloween, these are wonderfully quick to make.

The husband called them gingerbread caramels, with their spice-and-brown-sugar flavor. If you want to make them more like pumpkin pie, you can add a tablespoon of pumpkin puree into the caramel after you take it off the heat. I love them on their own, or you can swirl them around a hot espresso and get a pleasantly sweet, caramelly, spicy-fragrant drink. I would say one 2-in lollipop will blend nicely into a 8-10 ounce coffee.

Here’s to a sweet and spooky Halloween!

Cake Bakeries Give Tricks For Halloween Treats

Bakeries and cake shops warn that the witching hour is almost at hand. Homes are transformed from their lovely suburban colors and decor to spiderweb covered, ghost infested haunted houses. Young and old are buying or making their costumes. What to be this year? Your favorite superhero or a bunch of grapes? Oh, the possibilities are seemingly endless!

These Halloween inspired treats are sure to delight kids and adults alike, much like the sweets from the bakery stores:

Mummy Mouths:

Take a red apple, like a Macintoch or Red Delicious, and leaving the skin on, slice with an apple slicer to remove the core. Take one slice and slice it again, lengthwise. Lay one half flat on a plate, spread a layer of peanut butter, then arrange a row of marshmallows across the front. Spread a player of peanut butter on one side of the other half of the apple slice and lay that on top of the marshmallows. The end result will look like a big toothy grin!

Tombstone Pudding:

Fill a clear cup with chocolate pudding. Crush oreos and spread that on top of the pudding. Take a Nutter Butter, Vienna Cake, or any other kind of long, rounded cookie. Write RIP in icing on the top of the cookie and place that in your pudding ground! It is a chocolaty, yummy treat that everyone can enjoy.

Pumpkin Cupcakes:

There are plenty of ways to decorate your favorite kind of cupcake (we suggest pumpkin) to give it that creepy edge. You could go for an orange icing and decorate each like a jack o lantern. This would be a great activity for your child and their friends. Have the orange iced cupcakes ready to go and let them go to town drawing on faces with black icing! Or for a cool spider web effect, after icing your cupcake in your desired color, draw 4 circles with a contrasting color (like the rings of a tree). Take a toothpick and starting in the middle draw a line to the outside like the spoke of a bicycle wheel. The resulting effect will look like a web!

Bakery shop owners hope that everyone has a fun and safe Halloween with lots of sweet treats! Remember for those extra special celebrations, their stores can bake and decorate a cake to your likely with any theme - including Halloween!
