It's early November, Thanksgiving & Halloween are finished. Thanksgiving is coming soon & then my birthday & Christmas! Before you think it's a typo, or that I have lost my marbles, we do celebrate Thanksgiving twice, once in October (Canadian) & also in November, because my husband & I are a bi-national couple. If you ever wondered why Canada & the US have different Thanksgiving dates, here's the answer (I clipped this from a local free newspaper, several years ago:

I made Frosty's hats last week & they are still amazing. Something different I noticed, though. The last 2 times I made them, were a bit different from the 1st time.  The first time, 8 ounces of baking chocolate (with 1 tsp. cooking oil), made 8 hats. The 2nd time, 8 ounces of chocolate made 12 hats. This time, it made 15! I am not doing anything differently, as far as I can tell, so I am not sure why the difference. I will have re-calculate the calories though, as it was based on the 1st time.
