The HOT List for 10/24

#1: Make some fantastic Halloween goodies with Crawly Cakes for Halloween

There's a show on the Food Network that we love called Semi-Homemade, which essentially involves taking store-bought food and adding to it/enhancing it to make it taste and look more homemade. We're all so busy these days — and so are our 'rents and the rest of our families and friends — that this seems like a great way to bring people together for yummy meals, even when you don't have time to make a meal from scratch. And that's what we love about notmartha.com's Crawly Cakes, which take a few store-bought ingredients — Hostess and Little Debbie snack cakes, frosting, candies, and Pocky sticks (we think pretzel and licorice sticks would work, too) — and create truly special, adorable, and tasty Halloween-themed treats. Perfect for a party, a family dinner, or just a little snack on Halloween night, Crawly Cakes are both tricks and treats!
