The theme for October is going to be spooky.
That can mean a lot of things to a lot of different people.
I think of dark cookies, spiders, ghosts and beasties.
We’ll see what I decide.
But today was inspired by a Pinterest cookie.
The picture showed a dark chocolate cookie with orange M&Ms.
That would have been okay.
But I instantly thought ‘Reese’s Pieces’.
And that made me think of E.T. the extraterrestrial.
And Drew Barrymore’s character Gertie trying to coax ET from hiding.
It took a minute to find Reese’s Pieces.
The last thing I saw them in was Reese’s Peanut Butter cups.
But a CRNA at the hospital said to try a gas station.
I finally found small boxes of them at a pharmacy.
These cookies were definitely a hit.
A friend of mine said that the group in the lounge voted and they were voted the best ever.
I will definitely be making these again.
