No Tricks, Just Treats - Homemade Candy Corn

Do you like candy corn?  Do you hate candy corn?  It seems like there's very little middle ground here.  But I have the solution: homemade candy corn.  If you like candy corn, you will LOVE this, and if you hate candy corn, give this a try, because it's not like any candy corn you've had before.

Word of warning: this is a treat.  We make it a couple of times a year, tops.  So it does include ingredients that are not typically in my lexicon.  There is corn syrup.  There is food coloring.  Both of which you can find more natural versions of, but both of which I wouldn't make a habit out of using. Here, they make it work.  I don't live in black and white.  And hey, it's still better than that ingredient list of the bagged stuff, plus I know what's going into it.

Merry Widows - A Quick Halloween Craft

It's been 9 months since I started this blog.  Which seems crazy to me.  9 months, 53 posts, over 5000 pageviews...I think that for what it is, it's going pretty well.

But I haven't done a craft yet.

Which may not seem all that strange to people.  I mean, there are a ton of recipes on here, right?  And some insight on parenting, and some fun places to check out.  And not everyone who blog crafts, right?

But I do.  And people who really know me know that I have a lot of fun with it.  And some of them have wondered out loud to me why I haven't posted a craft yet.

This one's for them.
