Janae's Pumpkin Butter


3 1/2 Cups Fresh Pumpkin Puree
4 1/2 Cups White Sugar
1 tsp Cinnamon
1 tsp Ginger
1 tsp Nutmeg
1 tsp Cloves
1 Envelope unflavored Gelatin
* You can adjust the spices to your liking, if you like less ginger, more cinnamon etc... I just dump it in so I had to guess about what I did sorry..
In Saucepan combine all, mixing constantly. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes. Spoon into hot jars to 1/4 inch from the top. Make sure to stir in the jar after a few minutes to release air bubbles. Put lid on and freeze in freezer or put in fridge. These cannot be stored in the cupboard due to some new restrictions on putting up pumpkin in cans now.

Easy Homemade Tootsie Rolls


I know, they look scary but it is Halloween so you can use them for anything you want really LOL.. Ok, sorry I don't have a better picture but you get the idea..
3 T. Butter
1/2 Cup Cocoa
4 1/2 Cups Powdered Sugar
1 1/2 tsp. Vanilla
3/4 Cup Powdered Milk
3/4 Cup Dark Corn Syrup
Mix all ingredients together in Bosch or Knead well with hands. When it is all mixed well and not too sticky, put in refrigerator to set, you don't have to but it makes it easier to work with. Using Powdered Sugar as your "flour" on the counter, cut with Pizza Cutter and make into shapes rolling or whatever you like.
