A few weeks ago, thanks to Twitter and Stacie, I came across THE EASIEST recipe for Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies. I made the recipe the next day. Andrew and I both fell in love and two dozen cookies were gone in just a few days.

I’m making another batch today and this time I’m doubling it. So we’ll have four dozen cookies. I’m going to try to give some as gifts. I really don’t need to be eating four dozen cookies even if I do have the help of a seven year old.

I forgot to take photos of them last time. Here’s the first batch.

Recipe

1 box Spice Cake Mix
1 small can Pumpkin
1 bag Chocolate Chips

Mix all ingredients together. Drop by spoonfuls on cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes.

(I put a little applesauce in mine just because I had a jar open in the fridge. I tried with and without. The ones with were a little moister.)

Enjoy!

Well, I know I’m a little late, but I had honest intentions some time ago. What better day to talk chocolate than Valentine’s Day?

I really want and need to get on top of building this chocolate site. And what better way than to give it some attention and link love?

So, here’s the deal. Blog about this site and link back to this post and receive an entry into the drawing. Comment on ANY post on this site, receive an entry. Somebody else reads the post on YOUR site and comes to this site and comments on any post and mentions that YOU sent them, they receive an entry and YOU receive two entries. List this site in your blogroll or links list, and receive two entries.

I’m not sure what the chocolate will be yet. But since I tend to go overboard with chocolate. It will be good.

Contest ends at the END of the day on February 15th. Thanks and have a sweet day!

Yes, I said chocolate skittles. So, here’s the scoop starting with a little background.

I have a long night of working tonight so I took Andrew up to McDonald’s for a quick dinner and on the way home I stopped at the gas station to purchase an energy drink. I also decided I needed a chocolate fix, so I grabbed a small Dove heart laying at the counter. While I’m waiting for the cashier to give me my total, I’m checking out the other items on the counter. I look once, twice, it can’t be. Chocolate Skittles? I grab them. I hear the cashier give me total somewhere in the distance.

I say, “Chocolate Skittles? When did these come out?”

The cashier laughs and says, “About a month ago. We can’t keep them in stock.”

I have her add them to my total. Upon arriving home, a quick Google search reveals no approximate date of introduction, but I haven’t found anything more than a week old as far as other reviews. They aren’t even listed on the Skittles site yet nor on Mars (the company who makes them) nutritional info site.

Now, I can hardly wait to taste them, but somehow I found the strength to separate them all out on my computer desk and count how many of each there were.

My package contained:

• 10 Smores
• 9 Vanilla
• 14 Chocolate Pudding
• 12 Brownie Batter
• 9 Chocolate Caramel

The whole time I’m separating and counting, Andrew can hardly stand still, jumping up and down, saying, “Can I dig in yet?”

So finally, we’re ready to “dig in” and we taste one at a time. Andrew loved all of them. I liked them all pretty good, but I have to admit they aren’t something I’ll be craving in the middle of the night if you know what I mean. I found mixed reviews during my Google search.

Over at Candy Addict they were not impressed.

They liked it quite well over at this gaming forum.

Pick up a bag during your next shopping trip and let me know what you think.
