The boys and I crept out last night to leave these Halloween goodies on friends' doorsteps. They  had a blast knocking and running. We left a little note with the goods... you can find it at www.beenbooed.com.   Basically it  is a chain letter of sorts, having the goody receiver make goodies for two more friends, and on and on it goes. It's called being "Boo'ed." Happy Halloween!


Thanks for the recipe Aunt Mary!
