Happy Halloween

I always over estimate the amount of candy that I will pass out to trick or treaters on Halloween. Consequently, I’m always left with packs of candy that I don’t want to eat.
One way I use up the chocolate is in this cookie recipe. I bake the cookies and then freeze them for later. The cookies will keep for several months if they are wrapped properly before being frozen.
1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs, beaten
Mix the above ingredients together.
2 cups flour
Several years ago my niece gave me a glass Halloween ornament. In the next few years I collect other ornaments that could be used for a Halloween tree but I had no where to put them. I looked around in the craft stored but did not like the skinny trees that were sold for Halloween. So, I decided to get out the spray paint and make my own.
This craft is simple and only takes a few supplies including spray paint and glitter ribbon. I chose to paint the tree black but you could use purple or orange if you dare.
