TRICK OR TREAT DOUBLE GIVEAWAY - AND A RECIPE!



BY: SABRINA TATE
OF: The Bad Luck Cat Mysteries by Kay Finch

It's nearly Halloween, a day that kids far and wide look forward to with much anticipation for months in advance. Whether they are more attracted by the costumes or the candy, I'm not sure. Or maybe they love to be scared by ghosts and goblins.  To celebrate the season, Hitchcock, my black cat, and I are giving away a copy of the latest Bad Luck Cat Mystery - THE BLACK CAT SEES HIS SHADOW - as well as this lovely black cat coffee mug.

To go perfectly with that coffee, you ought to make one of my favorites - PUMPKIN CRUNCH. Consider this recipe another giveaway from Hitchcock and me to y'all.

PUMPKIN CRUNCH

1 Package Yellow Cake Mix

1 (16-oz) Can Pumpkin
 
1 (12-oz) Can Evaporated Milk

3 Eggs

1-1/2 Cup Sugar

4 Teaspoons Pumpkin Pie Spice

1/2 Teaspoon Salt

1 Cup Chopped Pecans

1 Cup Melted Butter

Whipped Topping
 
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease bottom of a 9x13 inch pan. Combine pumpkin, evaporated milk, eggs, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in large bowl. Pour into pan. Sprinkle dry cake mix evenly over pumpkin mixture. Top with pecans. Drizzle with melted butter. Bake for 50-55 minutes or until golden. Cool completely. Serve with whipped topping.

    My fave is candy corn since Halloween time is the only time you can get it. I love the mini candy bars but those are available pretty much all the time. barbie17(at)gmail(dot)com

  12. I do not generally dress up so no favorite costume. My favorite Halloween candy is the pumpkins that come in the Autumn mix with the candy corn unless they sell them in their own bag which they do ever so often. My actual plans are trick-or-treating with my kids. jelrobb(at)gmail(dot)com

My friend and I dress as hobo's once with black wigs on too, we even had the police officer called on us he came out to see why we were hanging around by a house on the corner of the street, he then knew it was us and laugh, he even gave us a ride home that night since my friend's Mom forgot to pick us up, We had fun.
