I would like to post a couple of Gooseberry Patch recipes today. I just love their recipes!

Spooky spiderweb Cupcakes

18-1/4 oz. pkg. chocolate or spice cake mix

1/2 c. semi-sweet chocolate chips

16-oz. container vanilla or orange frosting

Prepare cake mix according to package directions. Bake in 18 to 24 paper-lined muffin cups. Cool and set aside. Place chocolate chips in a small plastic zipping bag; microwave on high setting for 30 seconds to one minute, until melted. Snip off one corner of bag; squeeze chocolate onto a wax paper-lined baking sheet to form 3 concentric circles. Immediately draw a toothpick through circles to form a spiderweb design. Repeat with remaining chocolate; chill until set. Frost cupcakes; press webs gently into frosting. Makes 18 to 24 cupcakes.

Maple-Spice Pecan Pie

2 9-inch pie crusts

3 eggs

3/4 c. brown sugar, packed

1 c. maple syrup

3 T. butter, melted

1 T. lemon juice

1 t. vanilla extract

3/4 t. nutmeg

1/4 t. salt

1-1/2 c. chopped pecans

Place each pie crust in a pie plate; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk eggs and brown sugar. Add remaining ingredients except pecans; whisk to blend. Add pecans and pour into pie crusts. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Lower to 350 degrees and bake an additional 35 minutes , until golden. Makes 2 pies.

Hope you enjoy these recipes! Have a wonderful Tuesday!
