For the overall color scheme I opted for a pallet of blacks, silvers, greys and natural linen.  My everyday lanterns were filled with black candles and flanked by plenty of mercury glass pumpkins.  I highly suggest investing in mercury glass pumpkins as they can easily transition well past Halloween and right on to your Thanksgiving table. Lastly, I enhanced the overall look with dripping dried moss and dried moss branches (which is my favorite way to get that spooky look), spiders, faux crows, chains, and skulls.  

I kept the serve-yourself table simple with a moody cheese board, mini black eyed pea salads, and fried chicken sliders.  The walking dead bowl was filled with dry ice and my favorite wine, and the warm bourbon punch served in festive glasses.  To round out the food portion I wheeled in my trusty bar cart full of candied apples, cake, and a sweet little takeaway tied up in burlap bags.

I must say, I’m just over the moon with how everything turned out.  Make sure to check out Jezebel for my top 10 entertaining tips and grab my recipes for the Candied Apples and Spiced Bourbon Punch below.  Happy Haunting Loves.  truly, MKR

Homemade Peanut Butter Fudge with Peanut Butter M&M’s + Milk Chocolate Fudge with Pretzel M&M’s recipe | @mmschocolate @waitingonmartha #ad #CelebrateWithMHomemade Peanut Butter Fudge with Peanut Butter M&M’s + Milk Chocolate Fudge with Pretzel M&M’s recipe | @mmschocolate @waitingonmartha #ad #CelebrateWithMHomemade Peanut Butter Fudge with Peanut Butter M&M’s + Milk Chocolate Fudge with Pretzel M&M’s recipe Homemade Peanut Butter Fudge with Peanut Butter M&M’s + Milk Chocolate Fudge with Pretzel M&M’s recipe @waitingonmartha 2016-07-27_0006

When M&M’s invited me to celebrate its 75th Anniversary, I jumped at the chance of working with one of my favorite candies.  M&M’s are my movie staple, and the first thing I grab in the mini bar when traveling, (I’m partial to the classic milk chocolate M&M’s, but I recently tried the pretzel and I’m warning you do not to try a bag unless you’re prepared to get hooked).  And while I’ve always loved them on their own, my favorite way to use M&M’s is in baking.  I’m constantly mixing in a bag to my chocolate chip cookies and brownies, but since this wasn’t just any old occasion, I knew brownies or cookies wouldn’t do.  I wanted something more memorable, a bit more personal, and with fall around the corner something I could cozy up with.  But I also wanted the recipe to stay on the more classic side just like M&M’s themselves. So after a little chat with Mama K, it was decided; my grandmother’s homemade fudge with colorful M&M’s front and center would be the winner.  And perhaps the best part about making fudge (other than the taste) is that people will think you spent a lot more time on this dessert than you actually did, making it a great treat for back-to-school, birthday parties and even just a little Sunday baking with the family.  

Though I’ve enjoyed my family’s homemade fudge time and time again, I had never actually made it myself.  But armed with my mother on the phone walking me through each step, I found that it was incredibly easy to make.  And the M&M’s were definitely a welcome addition.  Not only do the M&M’s add a bright and cheery pop, but by being both in the fudge and as a topping the M&M’s gave each bite that crispy crunch.  Plus they really took this family favorite recipe to the next level.  

If you’re a first timer like me, the two pieces of advice I have is…first: make sure you have all of your ingredients and baking dish prepped and ready to go.  And second: don’t walk away from the fudge.  When making fudge, or candy of any kind, it only takes five seconds for it to burn and ruin your whole dish.  And also, line your baking dish with unbleached parchment paper or foil for easy clean-up.  Because let’s be honest, who wants to do more dishes than we have to? 

With homemade M&M fudge now under my belt, I really have to say this is why I love my job.  Taking part in celebrating a beloved brand like M&M’s, while having the excuse to whip out a family recipe; what other job allows you to do that!?  A big thanks to our neighborhood Kroger, too, for always having your shelves stocked with my favorite M&M’s and everything else I need.  And with that, I’d love to know my friend’s what’s your favorite kind of M&M’s?!  Truly, MKR

Tupelo Honey, one of the best southern cocktails

With today being St. Patrick’s Day there’s no doubt we’ll all be enjoying a libation.  And while some will be drinking Guinness and others Irish Whiskey, I’ll be partaking in my new favorite, The Tupelo Honey.  With a mix of honey bourbon and plenty of lime this beverage is sure to become one of the best southern cocktails around.  So cheers to the South, cheers to the Irish, and cheers to Mondays!  truly, MKR
