We are taking the kiddos out trick-or-treating and couldn’t be more excited! Hoping the weather stays dry tonight since it rained two years in a row.
He had his school Halloween party this week and it was so adorable seeing all the costumes that all his class-mates were wearing. I took a gazillion pictures and brought along these Pumpkin Chocolate Twix Cookies that I made for the kids to snack on and to support a fantastic organization called Cookies for Kids’ Cancer.
Every year, OXO supports Cookies for Kids’ Cancer through their #OXOGoodCookies program where they encourage everyone to bake a difference with OXO for Cookies for Kids’ Cancer.
I used OXO’s sheet pan, cookie scoop and cookie spatula in order to make these cookies and $0.25 cents for each of these specially marked products will go towards supporting pediatric cancer research. This year, OXO will donate up to $100,000 to support Cookies for Kids’ Cancer, through product proceeds, bake sale matches and other fundraising efforts.
Plus, for each blog post dedicated to this campaign, OXO will be donating $100 to Cookies for Kids’ Cancer , up to $100,000.
