Halloween Treats

 


We are deep into the season where pumpkin enthusiasts go head-to-head against apple lovers.  Is it pumpkin pie or apple pie? Pumpkin-spice latte or Hott Apple Cider?  Oreo gets in on the action by providing the options of Apple Cider Donut Sandwich CookiesApple Pie Sandwich Cookies, or Pumpkin Spice Sandwich Cookies.  I myself would prefer to have some chocolate and the much-maligned candy corn.  Whatever your preference,  it just doesn't seem like Halloween without the treats.
