This is a compensated review by BlogHer and Pop-Tarts.
The kids and I got to play with our food to create a Pop-Tarts recipe. The kids' idea was to take a Choc-O-Lantern Pop-Tart, cover it with orange frosting, and then top it with another Pop-Tart which has been cut into a Jack-o-lantern shape. Simple, fun, cute, and festive, no? But did I listen to them? Nope. I had a better idea. And by better, I mean much more complicated. (Sometimes, I get this idea I'm a Food Network star. I'm not.)
My idea was to use these limited edition Pop-Tarts to create a chocolate fudge crusted Pop-Tarts Pumpkin Pie. We crumbled 6 Pop-Tarts into a bowl.
Then we added half a stick of melted butter to the crumbled Pop-Tarts. We mixed it well.
Then we pressed the chocolate fudge Pop-Tarts crust into a 9 inch pie plate.
The kids helped me to mix the pumpkin pie filling.
We poured the pie filling into the Pop-Tarts crust and popped the whole thing into the oven. Smell that? Mmmmmmm!
The finished product! Chocolatey Pop-Tarts pumkin pie!

My great grandma's apple cake recipe- CUPS of sugar and oil, loaded with apples...it's amazing :)
ReplyDeletepumpkin pie (with cool whip on top!!)
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall recipe is honestly somanythings.
ReplyDeleteApple crisp? Easy peasy. In dire straits it is acceptable to just pop an apple in the oven with some brown sugar (and maybe a dab of butter)
I also love to make hot fudge pudding cake. The kind with both white and brown sugar and melted butter instead of oil is the best.
I like this Acorn Dough Nuts Recipe, courtesy of Disney Family Fun:
ReplyDeleteFrost a third or so of a plain or glazed doughnut hole with chocolate frosting or peanut butter.
Roll the frosted top in crumbled toffee, then add a small piece of a pretzel for the stem.

my fav fall thing is all things pumpkin! I make pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin muffins, & pumpkin cookies constantly! new this year was my first pumpkin roll - delish!!
ReplyDeletePumpkin Rolls are one of our family favorites. A cream cheese filling in the center of a pumpkin cake like mixture. DELICIOUS!! Also, caramel popcorn is another good one.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall recipe would either have to be glazed sweet potatoes or Topsy Turvey Apple pie. ANd I don;t usually like apple pie, but this is the best recipe.
ReplyDeleteYUM!! I just made pumpkin waffles last night and it might be right up there as one of my new fall favorites!
ReplyDeleteI have an apple cake recipe that is so yummy. It is even better with fresh apples from our local orchard! I serve it warm drizzled with caramel syrup and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. SOOOOO GOOOOD!!
ReplyDeleteI like to keep it simple, since I am not a BIG halloween fan. I will make sugar cookies with orange frosting, then add some black gel to make them look like jack-o-lanterns.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall recipe is pumpkin bread. I always slather a ton of (real)butter on top. Yumm! Unfortunately, I am not a great baker and my Mom makes this for me, so I couldn't tell you how to make it!
ReplyDeleteMy family enjoys making Rice Krispies treats and using food coloring to dye the marshmallow cream black and then dusting orange sprinkles on top. Always a hit with the kids!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall recipe or dish is anything that's got halloween decorations on it. I'm a sucker for looks. We make this thing called "Mummy mix" with pretzels, white chocolate, all kinds of things! I also love apple pie!
ReplyDelete-Amanda Ro.
I think my favorite fall dessert to make would be apple walnut banana loaf and when done I serve it as a slice with warm apple butter poured on it, warm & filling. thanks

ReplyDeleteI'm too brain dead to think of a favorite, but I'd love a pie crust made out of pop tarts!!
ReplyDeleteMy newest fall favorite is pumpkin roll. HMMM I can't wait to have my first bite of some right around Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteMy mom-in-law's pumpkin bread is a fantastic fall treat. I may have to make some today!
ReplyDeleteI like a good old fashioned pumpkin pie. A few cups of pumpkin, eggs, tons o' brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice (dunno exactly what the spice mix is), some cinnamon, nonfat evaporated milk and yeah you'll need a pie crust. Toss it in the oven and when your sister says its ready grab the vanilla ice cream and pie and run as fast as you can!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite fall recipe is pumpkin bread with a sugar/cinnamon topping.
ReplyDeleteCOOL PIE!!
ReplyDeleteI love pumpkin roll! It's our fall favorite!
I love Pecan pie!!!
ReplyDeleteHaystacks... they are NUMMY!
ReplyDeleteingredients:
1 2/3 cup butterscotch morsels
3/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 can (8.5 oz. size) chow mein noodles
3 1/2 cups miniature marshmallows
Directions:
Line trays with wax paper.
Microwave morsels in large, uncovered, microwave-safe bowl on medium-high (70%) power for 1 minute; stir. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10- to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted.
Stir in peanut butter until well blended. Add noodles and marshmallows; toss until all ingredients are coated.
Drop by rounded tablespoon onto prepared trays. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
DOUBLE BOILER METHOD: Place morsels in top of double boiler over hot (not boiling) water. Do not cover. When most of the morsels are shiny, stir just until melted. (Prevent water from coming in contact with morsels.) Remove from heat; stir in peanut butter. Transfer to large bowl. Add noodles and marshmallows; proceed as above.
This recipe from CDKitchen for Butterscotch Haystacks serves/makes 12

Pumpkin rolls with cream cheese fillings, they are absolutely delicious and we make some with nuts mixed in, we make quite a few rolls and then freeze some for later
ReplyDeletethanks for the Great giveaway

ReplyDeleteits a tie between homemade pumpkin pie (NOT storebought) and spiced rum apple cider! Love the spiked cider warm in the fall!!! :)
ReplyDeleteFresh, warm apple crisp with vanilla ice cream... mmmmm... CRAVING!
ReplyDeleteMmm, yummy!
ReplyDeletePumpkin dip
Ingredients
• 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 2 or 3 cups confectioners' sugar
• 2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
Directions: Place all ingredients in a bowl. Beat with electric mixer until fluffy. Serve with gingersnaps.
I always think "soup" when I think of fall food. And apple dump cake...SO EASY! Just dump a can of apple pie filling in the bottom of a casserole dish, then dump a golden cake mix on top. Cover with butter pats and bake at 350* for about 30-40 minutes depending on how "done" you want it (we like it a little on the mushy side so I do 30).
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Halloween recipe? Easy, mix equal parts of candy corn and peanuts in a bowl. Consume and repeat!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is pumpkin pie, but I also love cornbread dressing. My grandmother taught me how to make it and it always reminds me of her.
ReplyDeleteI had to come over and check out this post because I LOVE the pumpkin pie pop tarts. They are so yummy. I'm glad they are only around for a little while.
Sugar cookies, iced with orange frosting!
ReplyDeleteLove apple cider donuts from anywhere! Something I make that I love is apple slices. Yum!
ReplyDeleteGhost cookies--nutterbutters dipped in white chocolate and then make some faces by painting with dark chocolate.

My favorite fall recipe: roasted pumpkin seeds. Easy and makes the house smell great (bake in the oven at 300 until lightly brown... coat with salt and butter if desired).

I'm not the most creative - I can follow a recipe, but I'm not one to envision an idea and know how to make that with food, but what I have done is take a ghost cookie cutter and cut ghosts out of rice krispie treats. Simple, but the kids love them!
ReplyDeleteEvery year, I drool thinking about the Thanksgiving turkey. My brothers started making it with Alton Brown's brine recipe, and it is amazing every time!

ReplyDeleteVery creative. Thank you for the recipe.
ReplyDeleteWe love anything Apple in the Fall. Apple pie is probably our thumbs up favorite and I go to my tried and true family Apple Pie Recipe passed down and down and down....through the generations :) but my kids always ask for Apple Syrup this time of year made with honey crisp Apples for my own special Cornmeal Pancakes.
Definitely pumpkin pie - the recipe from the back of the Libbey's can. :)
