Thanksgiving is a fun time where we celebrate with an abundance of foods. While many are eating pumpkin bread and apple pie, I am wishing that there were some chocolate and peanut butter candies around! This is a great treat for Thanksgiving parties and celebrations because the pilgrim hats are adorable, but it is also a wonderful option for people who want something other than traditional desserts. These are fun for older children to make so be certain to invite them to participate!
