Since it is Fall and I am known for my caramel I decided to give each guest a fresh apple and a jar of my homemade caramel. My helper, Linda, and I wrapped them up in a cellophane bag, tied it up with raffia, and included a "Thank you" sticker. We had 36 of them to put together, but it wasn't too bad. The jars I used were the 4oz ball jelly jars, I bought the apples at Costco (used a mix of Gala and Granny Smith), and it was great that I could make them in steps ahead of time.

| This is after it had been carried home :) I didn't take a pic after I made them :( |
The other take home favor was a "Baked Goods Bar", a twist on the usual "Candy Bars". I would love to take credit for all of these amazing treats, but I have some fantastic friends who pitched in and helped a Kate out! Thanks to them this was a wonderful addition to the baby shower and a nice surprise for our guests. I will have the recipes for these treats on another post!
 |
| We had pumpkin muffins, pumpkin spiced snickerdoodles, truffled brownies, brown butter chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter and chocolate chip cookies, and Magic Bars. |
 |
| Magically Delicious! |
 |
| Burlap as the table clothe, pumpkins as decor, and some garland from Michael's. I had paper bags and goodie bags for people to take the treats home in. |
