Still on a Fall kick...

This is another easy, but unique, touch when giving food gifts. I make cards that fit on the top of disposable cake and bread pan lids. It's fun to coordinate them with any holiday and then either give with a homemade treat or the ingredients and instructions to make and bake themselves. This Halloween pan is great given with brownies topped with peanut butter truffle topping. The recipe is here:
     

Peanut Butter Truffle Brownies

Ingredients:

1 pkg. brownie mix (to bake in 8 or 9 in. square pan) or favorite brownie recipe and necessary ingredients

¼ cup butter, softened

¼ cup peanut butter

1 cup powdered sugar

1-2 teaspoons milk

½ cup semisweet chocolate chips

2 Tbls. butter

Preheat oven to 350° F. Grease bottom of 9 x 9-in cake pan with non-stick spray or shortening.

Prepare brownie mix as indicated on package or recipe. Spread in prepared pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or until done. Cool.

In a small mixing bowl, beat butter, peanut butter, powdered sugar, and milk until smooth and fluffy. Spread evenly over brownie.

In a glass measuring cup, microwave chocolate chips and butter on High for 30-60 seconds, until melted.

Stir until smooth. Cool slightly and spread over peanut butter filling. Refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving.

Here's my brownie recipe:

Favorite Brownie Recipe

Thoroughly cream shortening and sugar. Add vanilla and eggs and beat well. Add melted chocolate and blend thoroughly. Add remaining ingredients and beat until smooth. Pour into prepared 8 or 9-in square pan. Bake at 350° F. for about 30 minutes.

I love to give pumpkin bread and muffins around Halloween and Thanksgiving, and I deliver them in these:

Try making them yourself, or buy some I've made on my Kits page or etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/RabbitHillEmporium?ref=pr_shop
