Okay, so thanks to help from you guys, I decided to be Kristen Wiig as the Target Lady.  If you haven’t seen her as the Target Lady, you have to watch the following clip:


Isn’t she hilarious?!  I’ll post pictures afterward.

If you’re still trying to think of desserts to prepare for Halloween, I can help.  Make these!  They’re simple and it’s just a little twist on the famous Peanut Butter Cup Cookies.

I’ve got probs.

First of all, I haven’t jumped on the pumpkin bandwagon and I’m still making summery, Funfetti-colored cake balls. I have already had: pumpkin ice cream, pumpkin coffee creamer, Starbucks pumpkin latte, store-bought pumpkin muffins, and pumpkin tea, but I have yet to bake pumpkin-flavored food.  (Actually, I did, but I forgot to take pictures so it doesn’t count.)

Second of all, I may have overdone it here with the triple flavor combo, but it worked.

So, yeah, I’ve got probs, but it’s okay because I made you cake balls.

These are just like regular cake balls, but instead of frosting, you use melted white chocolate and peanut butter.  Yum, yum, yum.
