Who doesn’t like to be surround by a bunch of good looking men! Especially when they are the strong silent type! These Spicy Gingerbread Men with their festive bow ties just seem to shout “Merry Christmas”! To me it just doesn’t seem like the official Holiday baking has started until these guys show up on my counter with their cute smiling faces! A few of these fella’s and a big tall glass of cold milk and what more could a gal want?!!

Fall just isn’t Fall at this Nest until I’ve made my Double Caramel Apples! I ramp it up… of course… by adding chopped nuts and drizzled chocolate! This is one of our favorite Fall treats!
