On her website you can find the most bewitching tricks and treats that will surely leave your friends and family feeling wicked and wanting more! I can't wait to try these recipes!

{Sugar Bee} Treats Too Cute To Spook!

This year for Halloween, I wanted to create some treats that are little more spooky... so I made chocolate covered Oreos in the shapes of coffins and brains. But instead of going for a traditional pink brain, I used a fun green color to make it more appetizing.... not sure if my strategy actually worked because it still too closely resembles a brain, but I guess that's the point, right? Trick or Treat!

Although the subject matter is on the spookier side of Halloween, I still think they are too cute and kids will gladly gobble these brains up!

{Sugar Bee} Batty Over Chocolate Covered Oreos

My son is totally batty over Halloween and loves everything about the holiday, especially the fun decorations all over our house. He loves to look at the pumpkins, ghosts, black cats, and of course the bats! So I thought it was only appropriate to create chocolate covered Oreos with bats on them. Not only do I love the way the bats look, but the colors are very indicative of Halloween. Even more, these would go over very well for those kids who are obsessed with Batman. These surely won't last long in my house!

{Sugar Bee} M&M Candy Corn

The countdown to Halloween has begun! I am sure it is no surprise that my family LOVES Halloween. It could be due to the weather cooling down, the fun colors and decorations of the season, or all of the yummy treats...or perhaps it is a combination of everything. Regardless of the reason, my family goes all out for Halloween and this year is no exception, especially with the addition of our little girl. We want her to have a fantastic 1st Halloween (though she won't remember anything, she will have pictures to see in the future)!

So during one of my trips to the store, I came across a bag of M&M's that were created in the colors of candy corn. What a great idea! Of course the first thing that popped in my head was to make a large candy corn using the orange, yellow and white M&M's, inspired by the Easter jelly bean carrots. Such a simple project with a fun and festive result....kids would love to assist with this craft and it can also be educational, especially for children learning their colors or how to count.

All you need to create these are clear disposable pastry bags (I found mine at Williams Sonoma), M&M's, ribbon, twist ties, and tape. Fill the bags first with the white M&M's, then the orange, and lastly the yellow and use a twist tie to close. Because the M&M's are too large to fill the very point of the bag, you will need to tape the empty "point" to the back of the pastry bag. Finally, tie the top with ribbon and viola....looks like a large candy corn! 

How Bootiful!

{Sugar Bee} Cute Cupcake Cookies...Just Because

Have you ever just woke up one day and thought....I want to make some cookies. Well I had that exact thought the other day, so I decided that I would use one of my cookie cutters that I have had for such a long time but have never used....my cupcake cookie cutter! I completely adore cupcakes, not only are they just so tasty but they are an absolutely adorable treat. After a couple days of cookie making, I ended up with these little cuties....phew, I am tired. Good thing I had some cookies to give me a sugar boost!

The best part of making a bunch of cookies is getting to surprise some of my favorite people with a little treat, just because!

{Sugar Bee} Think Pink!

These are for you ladies...you are truly amazing!
