No-Name Treats

I recently decided to make a recipe I came across on Pinterest.  They're colorful, fun, easy, and it's impossible to eat just one. Sure, these delicious little bites can hardly be considered baking or cooking.  They even lack a formal name, and I couldn't think of anything creative to call them. Yet, the salty, chocolaty, crunchy combination is a hands-down winner.  

Three simple, classic ingredients: mini-twist pretzels, Hershey's kisses, and M&M's.
Place one Hershey's kiss on top of each pretzel.
Evidence of the most tedious part.
Just 3 minutes in the oven at 275 degrees.  Remove, and press one M&M into each Hershey's Kiss.
Finished product, after a quick chill in the fridge to solidify things.

Weekend Getaway

We happily welcomed October with a weekend visit to our second home, Lake Wenatchee's Y Camp.  My grandparent's 40 acre gem nestled away on Blewett Pass is the perfect landing place for our occasional jaunts up north.  A weekend complete with cabin dwelling, fire building, fall foliage photographing, charcoal grilling, and wool sock wearing.  Needless to say, we were both quite content.
