blog contest & giveaway party!

UPDATE!

WE HAVE A WINNER!!! My daughter used random.org to pick a number, based on the number of entries. The winner was #6 & the 6th person to enter was "Fingertip Offerings"! Please message me on facebook & let me know if you would like to receive 5 lbs of caramel OR 4 caramel apples & where you would like your prize to be delivered.
I will deliver or ship Wednesday.

That was fun & I wish I could send all of you caramel apples! We'll do this again soon! :) Tomorrow I'm posting a recipe for CARAMEL DIP, it's easy & yummy. If you didn't win tonight you can make it in a snap & still be in caramel heaven! :)
Congrats to #6 and thanks to everyone for playing!

I wasn't planning to post today but I just found out that my little blog won a contest & I'm EXCITED! I am today's guest blogger at Orson Gygi, a beautiful gourmet kitchen store in Salt Lake City. My prize was a generous gift card to their store OR a BUNCH of fun ingredients to make MORE CARAMEL APPLES! Of course, I chose the Caramel Apple stuff !

To kick off my new blog I want to share my prize with YOU! I will pick a random winner late SUNDAY NIGHT, 10/23. The winner can choose to receive either 4 tasty homemade caramel apples like the ones I posted here, made by me OR a 5 lb. block of my favorite caramel to make your own caramel apples!

    When I was lucky enough to be stay at home mom, I would have a freshly baked snack most days when my four kids got home. I miss those days! Still love baking & know your blog will give me some great new ideas! Favorite Halloween candy? Can anyone choose just one?? Snickers, caramel apples with nuts....too many good ones!

    My favorite is the pumpkin shaped Reese's. I am so excited about your blog and so proud of you for winning!

    I prefer the apples already made. I would just end up losing my job because I would be gnawing on the block of caramel for days on end. :)

    Congratulations on winning the Gygi contest! Your apples are great and I love your blog-can't wait to try your recipes!!! My favorite new Halloween candy is the Hershey's Pumpkin Spice Kisses. I've only seen them at Target. Snatch some up if you find them-they go fast. My favorite way to use them is in this yummy recipe:
    Pumpkin Spice Cookies
    • 1 1/2 cups sugar
    • 1/2 cup butter
    • 1 teaspoons vanilla
    • 2 eggs
    • 2 3/4 cups flour
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
    • 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • ½ teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1 package Pumpkin Spice Hershey Kisses
    1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Unwrap Hershey Kisses and set aside.
    2. In a large mixing bowl, cream butter and sugar. Add vanilla and eggs and beat until light and fluffy.
    3. In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. Gradually add to butter mixture. Mix until just combined.
    4. Place rounded tablespoonfuls 1 inch apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and immediately press a Hershey Kiss into the center of the cookie. Move to a cooling rack to finish cooling.

    Happy Halloween!
