haunted tree pretzels

oh my goodness...

it's been awhile...

and i know i know!

what started as an intentional 

short summer blog break turned out 

to be an unintentional very very very 

long summer turned to fall whattookmesodarnlongtocomebacktomyblog break.

oopsies!

should i explain with some long drawn out 

story about how i needed a break from creating because 

it was basically consuming my life 

as to what the next post would be 

that i kinda oopsies forgot that i had a family? 

or that some darn thing called irma completely screwed up my 

so called september comebacktobloglife time?

or maybe i was just lost in a forest 

where no one could find me?!?!

like maybe a haunted forest?

hey now! maybe i don't/didn't wanna be found! lol

but heck a halloween baby like me could not 

let her holiday go by 

without celebrating right?

and good thing cuz i really really really

missed creating/blogging.

i guess i will just give up the fact that 

i was born this way as some lady gaga told me

in a song i heard one time or another...

anyway, if you wanna get lost in 

a haunted chocolate forest too, 

here's the lo-down:

do this first and plop them in a bowl:

next up, which is optional but 

it will give you a better idea on placement 

once they are dipped:

ok now here comes the fun part of growing your trees.

i was originally gonna take another 

lighter chocolate and add the trunk detail 

but then i think swirling the bark around 

before it completely dries was much easier 

and looked cooler than if i were to 

pipe lines for trunk detail.

so there you have it.

i kinda love these trees.

no watering or sunshine needed and 

the blacker the thumb you have, the better the tree, 

which is great for me considering 

i kill silk plants without even trying.

dang that felt good to finally do a post 

since over 3 months ago.

yup i know what ya mean haunted tree, 

i know what ya mean!
