But just looking at the photos and reading the description of these cookies-in-a-chocolate-cloak made me realize that I would have […]
Halloween Whoopie Pies*
*Or, Why We No Longer Celebrate Halloween in the RH Household [Don’t be scared. It’s really tasty!] When the HH and I first lived together, our home in an older, mostly run-down neighborhood wasn’t exactly child-friendly.
