We are almost half-way through October. Already. How is that possible?!?! *flail* Yeah, yeah. I know. The sun rises, the sun sets, and days go by. Anyway. It’s October. That means Halloween! Sometimes we want cute treats. Sometimes we want cute treats that are really easy. Sometimes we want cut treats that are really easy but they look like we took forever. Boy, do I have the recipe for us!

Cover homemade or stove-bought cookies in melted HERSHEY’S Chocolate Chips and top them with HERSHEY’S KISSES Milk Chocolates to make decorative witch hats. They’re the spooky snack that kids will love this Halloween.

I admit that I’ve featured this recipe before but when it popped up in my email newslettr straight from the chocolate folks themselves, I wanted to remind folks. Head over to HERSHEY’S to get all the details on this fun Halloween goodie. It’s hard to believe that SEASON OF THE WITCH will be 12 years old the end of the month.  *flail* Dang. I’ve been doing this whole writing gig thing a long time. Sade and Sinjen are still one of my favorite couples. Sade made her debut in THAT OL’ BLACK MAGIC, but she didn’t connect with her favorite vampire until this book. SEASON OF THE WITCH answers that age-old question: Can a dedicated FBI agent find true love with her undead suspect in a series of brutal murders? Just click on the pics or the title to grab your copy of either book AND the other books in the series from Books2Read, which hooks you up with your favorite on-line bookseller. Happy reading and Happy Halloween!
