Hollywood Snack Mix in a Jar

by 2 Comments

And the award goes to … Hollywood Snack Mix, a tasty nod to the glitz and glam of the Black & White movies era. It easily won the “Best Mix” award from my family and would make a fun date night paired with a classic movie.

Hollywood Snack Mix another great gift in our Snack Mix in a Jar collection. You’ll want to try the other mixes.

Bonus:  There’s a free printable to go with the Hollywood Snack Mix.  I bribed my daughter into making it for us and I think she did a great job!

And if you decide to make this snack mix for family night, have the kids join in the mixing. Even toddlers could win awards for this perfectly sweet and salty combination.

Pumpkin Biscoff Monster Cookies

by 6 Comments


It’s no secret that I love oats. I recently confessed to having 6 boxes of quick oats in the pantry, because I’m apparently afraid of running out.

But I didn’t realize until recently that we as a country actually have a National Oatmeal Day – October 29.

These cookies are perfect for celebrating National Oatmeal Day or any day, for that matter.

These are an adaptation of the traditional monster cookie. Instead of peanut butter, which I don’t think would be good with pumpkin, I used Biscoff. The consistency is about the same as peanut butter, but it’s made with mildly spiced ginger cookies so it pairs nicely with the pumpkin.

This version of monster cookies is softer than the traditional monsters. But they are every bit as delicious. It also makes a monster-sized batch of cookies. You will be at the oven, baking for quite a while.

The good news is that the cookies freeze well. Because they are soft, I recommend freezing them in a single layer or in layers separated with wax paper.

Here’s what you’ll need to make them: [Read more…] about Pumpkin Biscoff Monster Cookies

Please forgive all the sweets this week.  I’m trying to post plenty of holiday treat recipes in case you’re still looking for baking inspiration.  Tomorrow, I’ll post an appetizer but then it will be back to a few more sweet treats.

You can’t go wrong with sweet-salty candy.  I found these on Mommy’s Kitchen.  Tina always has such yummy things on her blog.  These candies are easy to make, and taste great.  Tina also made some with pecan halves pressed in the top, which sounds great to me, but I decided to go with M&Ms to make the kids happy.
