Baby it's cold outside

OK - it's not truly COLD here in the South yet, but after a night of thunder showers, the temperature has finally dropped making it feel like AUTUMN!  And I LOVE Fall!  I love pumpkins and gourds and the leaves and the cool weather and sweaters and....well, I love Fall!  So cool weather means we can really start baking again (we I mean the teen and I).  She seems to love to bake.  Cook - eh, not so much!  And to touch raw meat - well, that's another story!  But she really enjoys baking.  Teen has baked chocolate chip banana bread, chocolate chip cookies, muffins, and many other yummy treats!  She has been drooling over these Chocolate Halloween Pretzels for days now.  So moments after her feet hit the floor this morning, she was asking to bake!  And this is what she created!

She even patiently let her little brothers add orange and yellow sprinkles and sugar crystals.  Definitely the perfect treat for Fall!

They taste as good as they look!
