Takeout Tuesday - Halloween Box from Sunday Morning Bakehouse

 

I hope everyone had a great Halloween weekend! When I saw that Sunday Morning Bakehouse was doing pre-orders for a Halloween treat box again this year, of course I had to get one again - so cute!

  This box consisted of a homemade Oreo, brownie, pumpkin shaped Krispie treat, a meringue ghost, a Reese's pieces chocolate cookie, and pumpkin shaped sugar cookies along with some fun sized candy.  Everything was so fun to look at and a really festive way to enjoy Halloween!  I am saving most of these in the freezer for later, but I love how there's so many different types of treats if you were sharing with a group.  I can't wait to see what holiday items they come out with later!

These are just two of the flavors that are available for the rest of the month.  On the left we have the Midnight Cookies and Creme flavor, which consists of a "Valrhona chocolate cupcake topped with a milk chocolate cookies & crème buttercream frosting and cookie crumbles". On the right is the Halloween Surprise, which is a "Madagascar vanilla cupcake infused with orange and black non-pareils, topped with a whipped Callebaut chocolate frosting and decorated with a white fondant ghost". 

The Midnight Cookies and Creme is an extra chocolatey cookies and creme cupcake, and is perfect for anyone that really loves chocolate!  The surprise in the Halloween Surprise is lots of orange and black sprinkles throughout the cake - so, maybe not actually surprising, but still cute and seasonal :o)  Both of these are delicious and would be great for any fall or Halloween parties!
