Baked Cinnamon Almond Butter Churro Doughnuts with cinnamon sticks in the background on a white background

I’m a sucker for a great doughnut, but sometimes I want to eat a whole dozen of them. My doctor tells me that eating that much fried dough isn’t good for me, but I’ve found a loophole. My Baked Cinnamon Almond Butter “Churro” Doughnuts are baked not fried. You still probably shouldn’t eat a dozen of them by yourself though.

 

What’s spookier than a mystery pretzel found in your suitcase purchased from an unidentified airport on an unknown trip from who knows how long ago? These Peanut Butter Stuffed Chocolate Dipped Pretzels. And by spooky, I mean that in the spooktacularly-cute Halloween sense, of course. The mystery pretzel is the other kind of spooky.
