Crushed Dark Chocolate Almond Cookies
Favorite snack for those big “Trick or Treat” partygoers

About the Recipe: Imagine delicious chocolate covered almonds combined with almond flavored cookies. What a yummy treat! It is the perfect partner to have with that glass of cider, cup of coffee or sip of tea.
Just for fun, we decorated the cookies with harvest colored nonpareils to celebrate the season.

Cook’s Note:  If the dough is a little soft because of the kitchen heat, place in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes to chill it for easier handling. You can also substitute vanilla extract for the almond extract to make vanilla flavored cookies.

Bake Cookies:  Bake cookies in preheated 350-degree F oven for about 10 to 12 minutes or until edges are browned.  Remove from oven.  Cool about 10 minutes; remove to cooling rack.

Yield:  about 30 cookies

Pudding Pranksters
Dress up your Halloween with fun treats

About the Recipe: A chocolate pudding dessert served in a bowl creates a perfect opportunity for a little bit of monster-making Halloween creativity. Everyone will be able to enjoy their own scary but sweet treat.

Cook’s Note: The amount of  liquid will vary depending on the size of the banana and avocado used in the recipe. Also, peanut butter can be used in place of the almond butter if desired. Double the recipe for more servings. The pudding is designed to be a healthy alternative to regular sugared chocolate pudding.  If desired, you can add about 2 Tablespoons ground chia seeds, but the pudding will then need to use about ½ cup of milk since chia seeds thicken the pudding while it is chilling in the refrigerator.

Yield: 4 small servings of pudding
