What Halloween Treats Are You Making This Year?

I used to bake all the time as a kid and with my mom but as I got older I got away from it.  I tried to do it a few times over the past several years and nothing was coming out or tasting like it should.

I was at Walmart and saw all the Halloween treats they had for people to make, I told myself I want to start baking and cooking again so I bought a cake mix and it came out amazing, I was so happy and so was my daughter.  We ate on that thing for a week straight. Since my cake turned out so well, I wanted to try something else.

Walmart had chocolate covered pretzel kits with Halloween decorations, so I had to give them a try.  I was pretty hesitant on these but they came out great as well, I surprised myself.

It is just something I like to do on the weekends to occupy my time, now I need to find something else to bake/cook.  You have any ideas?
