With the Holidays quickly approaching I wanted to share a great appetizer idea!

Formaggio Italian Cheese makes delicious marinated mozzarella balls. You can find them at most major retailers. I love Formaggio brand cheese products because they make the best mozzarella I have ever tasted. It is also fresh and  handmade  with high quality ingredients. 
Learn more by visiting: www.Formaggiocheese.com 

Their marinated mozzarella balls make a great appetizer. Simply place on a skewer along with some tomatoes and maybe even some basil and tortellini and you have a very beautiful and delicious appetizer for your guests. 

Use some leftover Halloween candy to make this Thanksgiving inspired cookie. 

You will need:
-Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
-Candy Corn
-icing or melting chocolate
-fudge/chocolate covered cookies. 

Place chocolate/fudge covered cookie upside down. Next I melted some orange melting chocolate but you can also use frosting. Place a dollop on the top of the  Reese's cup and then place the cup upside down in the center of the cookie. Next draw a rim around the Reese's cup. Lastly cut a piece of candy corn (I cut the yellow end) and place on the Pilgrim hat as the buckle.
