    Bookmarked! Sounds so yummy!

    My favorite would have to be when I was like 2 and I was a little ghost!

  2. cbrady3 says:

    YESS I have been looking for dessert recipes for one…pumpkin + chocolate is always a winner!

  3. Mary @ Bites and Bliss says:

    I love anything pumpkin, can’t get enough of the stuff!! This muffin looks great! 🙂

    I don’t think I’ll be able to dress up this year as I’ll be traveling. Airport security might not find it funny..

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Ah airport security… yeah, they don’t seem to have a sense of humor (rightly so, to a degree). But you might be able to get away with something. After all, have you seen what Lady Gaga wears to travel?! (If you haven’t, consider yourself lucky!)

    Katie,
    This is so great – thanks so much for this recipe! I’ve been craving ice-cream like crazy, and I always want to crumble a little something on top, but I never want to make a whole batch of muffins or cookies. This is perfect! 🙂

  5. Erika says:

    Oooh! I can’t wait to find the new Chocolate Coconut Luna bars! YUM! 😀

  6. Kiersten says:

    You can never have too many pumpkin posts! I looove pumpkin muffins but haven’t made any yet this year. I’m definitely going to get on that ASAP. Unfortunately, I couldn’t find anything fun to do for Halloween this year so I’m not dressing up. Can’t wait to see your costume creativity this year. You’re way more creative than I ever was.

  7. melissa @ the delicate place says:

    have i told you you’re a genius yet? 🙂

  8. Heather Eats Almond Butter says:

    Okay, just made it. Brilliant. I love you. 🙂 Nuked in the micro for 90 seconds in a coffee mug greased with coconut oil. Too eager to wait 15 minutes for the oven-baked version. Served atop vanilla ice-cream. Perfect. 🙂

  9. *Andrea* says:

    these look so incredibly delicious! i actually have all the ingredients too! definitely making some muffins soon 🙂 i love that it’s a 1-serving portion too b/c when i bake a dozen cookies/muffins/anything chocolate i can never stick to one portion 😉

    the coolest new product i saw the other day at Whole Foods was Justin’s peanut butter cups! from justin’s nut butter. looked good!

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Holy cow!! Just went to their website to see. (Haha did you think I wouldn’t? 😉
      Thanks for telling me, Andrea!

  10. Liz @ Blog is the New Black says:

    Your muffs look good! I can’t think of a fav costume from childhood but I was an indian a few years ago and I’m dying to wear the costume again!! Annnnd that new Luna flavah looks awesome!

  11. Averie (LoveVeggiesAndYoga) says:

    I love Holly…she is a GREAT girl and friend! love her and love that you made these delish looking muffins!

    I dressed up for a work party. And I am fully excited that my lil princess is going to be a…princess. her choice! For the 3rd year in a row 🙂

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Your daughter knows what she truly is ;).
      She just wants to be true to herself!

  12. EmbraceYourSkin says:

    Well, I’m off to make a pumpkin muffin now… 🙂

    THESE LOOK DELISH! I’m in love with pumpkin but also a big sucker for sweet potato anything. And on the subject of sweet potatoes (btw i dont think this has anything to do with sweet potatos), I was wondering, how did you kick start your blog when you started it?

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Hey girl,
      I’m not exactly sure what you mean by “kick start” lol.

      1. juliakatz1996 says:

        Sorry about that, I meant, did you ever advertise to people you know or did you simply wait for your readers to come?

        1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

          Oh lol I thought it was some kinda technology term hahaha! No, I didn’t tell ANY of my friends/family for a long time. But the #1 thing I did that I recommend to anyone who asks: comment comment comment on other sites! If you don’t comment on others’ sites, no one in the blogworld will know your site exists. true, I don’t really comment much on other sites anymore, but that’s because: 1. I don’t want to be unfair, and with so many people commenting on my site, I could never comment equally on all of theirs. And 2, I just don’t have time. But in the beginning, I commented a lot.

          Oh, and it takes time to build a following. My first post got like 4 comments :). But I think all 4 of those ladies are still my friends to this day!

          1. juliakatz1996 says:

            Thank you so much! I’ve just started a new blog and so far it’s been a fail. I will take your advice!

  14. BroccoliHut says:

    I plan on dressing up this year–Seth and I are running in a Halloween 5K:) Just haven’t figured out the costume yet…
    Some of my favorites from the past include: Lady Bug and Gentleman Bug (my friend and I dressed up together), Alvin (the chipmunk), and Super Woman.

  15. Brandie says:

    I love the “Single Lady Cupcakes” Lol! I am a single lady – actually, a single Mommy! – so it’s definitely useful to have smaller portion recipes available! I find that I have a tendency to avoind cooking ‘real’ meals and recipes simply becuse I end p with tooo much food! My son is only 2, lol, he can’t help me eat a meal that cooks for, say, 4, right?? I am so going to try these, thank you!!

    I’m a witch one year, devil the next, then a witch, then a devil……every year I say I’ll change it up but then I just can’t. Kind of like changing my breakfast. Sadly they don’t really celebrate Halloween in Australia 🙁

    1. Chocolate-Covered Katie says:

      Haha well at least you rotate! My mom is a witch EVERY single year!
