Halloween fever

Halloween fever has really hit, and there are pumpkins everywhere, including Dunkin' Donuts offering Pumpkin Lattes.... yes, Pumpkin Lattes!!

Anyway, I'm getting amoungst it by attempting these two recipes...

 Caramel and chocolate dipped apples from here

Chocolate pumpkin cake from here. I'm actually entering a 'Fall flavours' cooking comp with this cake. If it turns out looking half as good as this picture I'll be chuffed. The reason I'm fascinated by this cake is not that it uses pumpkin (in a cake?), but it calls for canned pumpkin. You're not in Tairua now, Toto.
