Gooey melted cheese, smoky asparagus and mushrooms, and toasted baguette slices, hot off the grill. I think that is why I like summer appetizers. Pour the wine and just enjoy.

I love to make scary, funny Halloween foods. In fact I love all holidays and love to bake and decorate, but sometimes, I get busy and suddenly I can’t get all of the treats baked. Do you ever feel that way? I am guilty. I admit it. Never fear! Even with just a couple days left before Halloween, you can make these bloody eyeballs—a super tasty, but quick and easy appetizer!
Yes, Halloween is for kids, but it seems that at neighborhood gatherings, the adults enjoy the day as much as the kids and savory treats are especially welcome. These appetizers will be perfect to take to that party and since they bake in the Babycakes Cake Pop Maker in just 5 minutes, you can be in and out of the kitchen so quickly you won’t miss any of the fun. This appetizer is so darn cute, no one will ever guess that you were in the kitchen at the last minute.
