To enter, post a favorite fall treat (bonus points if you share your recipe!). I'm making caramel apples with my kids this afternoon. I use this recipe: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Caramel-Dipped-Apples-102427. It's heaven in a pot. No kidding. I've also ditched my old caramel recipe for this one. They're lovely as plain caramels, too. Mmmmm.....

My fave treat is Christmas Bark. Technically it is a Christmas treat, but who says you have to wait till Christmas???
The Christmas Bark Recipe
• 1 sleeve of saltine crackers
• 1 cup butter
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 12 oz semisweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup chopped pecans
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a jelly roll pan with parchment paper, folding the edges up so the sides are covered as well. Lay the saltines in a single layer on the parchment paper.
3. Melt butter and brown sugar in a medium saucepan over medium to medium-high heat. Bring to a boil and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Adjust temperature as necessary. Pour butter-brown sugar mixture over the saltine crackers. Spread the mixture evenly, working quickly as it will begin to cool. Put jelly roll pan in oven and bake for 15 minutes.
4. Remove the pan from oven and immediately sprinkle with the chocolate chips. Wait a few minutes for the chips to soften from the heat. When the chips are soft enough, spread them evenly over the entire layer of sugar covered crackers. Immediately sprinkle chopped pecans on top. Press the pecans slightly with a spoon so they are firmly in the chocolate and will be less likely to fall off when the bark cools.
5. Put the pan into the refrigerator and refrigerate for one hour. When the bark has finished cooling, remove the pan from refrigerator. Using your hands or a pizza cutter, break or cut the bark into pieces.
6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If layering the bark, place sheets of waxed paper between the layers to prevent sticking.
Cider and friend cakes..
Hot cider and snickerdoodles or sticky buns. Yummy
Last year my husband and I made this special SPOOKY! treat for a contest at my work. I ended up winning a magnum of wine! We love this recipe (albeit labor intensive) and plan to do it again this year.
Although I HIGHLY recommend using either crunchy peanut butter or, do as we did and add a cup of rice crispies to the peanut butter mixture to give it some texture. Also, freezing the balls for 30 minutes before dipping is also encouraged. Enjoy! http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/spooky-halloween-eyeballs/detail.aspx

Lamb and Stout Casserole
Recipe courtesy Emeril Lagasse, 2001
8 ounces bacon, cut into 1/2-inch dice
2 pounds lamb shoulder or lamb chops, cut into 1-inch pieces, bones reserved
2 tablespoons Essence, recipe follows
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon flour
2 cups diced yellow onions
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup diced leeks
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1/4 cup chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
2 cups Guinness or Murphy's Stout
1 cup beef stock
1 pound very small potatoes, about 1-inch in diameter, or quartered larger potatoes
In a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven, cook the bacon over medium-high heat until the fat is rendered and just brown. Remove the bacon and drain on paper towels. Remove all but 3 tablespoons oil from the pan. Season the lamb with the Essence and salt, and sprinkle with the flour. Add the meat and bones to the pan and saute until brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the meat and bones from the pan.
Add the onions, carrots and leeks to the pan and saute over medium-high heat until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, parsley, thyme and bay leaves, and cook for 30 seconds. Add the stout, beef stock and potatoes, and return the meat and bones to the pot. Stir well and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer, covered, until the lamb and vegetables are tender, about 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally and skimming any fat that forms on the surface.
Remove from the heat, adjust seasoning, to taste, and discard the lamb bones. Serve hot.
Emeril's Creole Seasoning (Essence):
2 1/2 tablespoons paprika
2 tablespoons salt
2 tablespoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon black pepper
1 tablespoon onion powder
1 tablespoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano
1 tablespoon dried thyme
Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in an airtight jar or container.
Yield: about 2/3 cup
