Oh, Mr. Pumpkin

I've been looking forward to today all week.  Today was the day to make fall truffels.  Take a look at these bad boys, they look divine   I made them, haven't tested one yet, although very tempted.  With the left over pumpkin mix, I decided to make pumpkin bars, which I've made 3 times (and every time have turned out amazing!).  Everything was looking good and smelling good.  As the bars were cooling off, the kids and I ran to the post office to mail my nephew his 1st birthday present...a day late!  Sorry Bode, Happy 1st Birthday anyhow (on the 18th)...love ya!  When we got back, I was excited to frosting the bars and dive right in.  But first, they looked a bit different.  I decide to cut into them early, and a good thing i did!  They looked wet inside, although the tooth pick 45 minutes ago came out clear.  So, I start thinking, what happened?  I still had the can of pumpkin on the counter, looking at it.  Discovered that it was the pumpkin pie easy mix!  Yikes!  What the heck.  I grabbed the wrong can!  Now I'm nervous that the lovely truffels that look so heavenly won't be any good.  I already tossed the bars. I've been looking forward to these truffels all week...and now this!  I'll let hubby take the first bite...ha!  Let his facial expression be the judge of these things.  I'll let you know in the next post the verdict. 
Because of this huge error, I will be making a trip to the store tonight to get the right can of goodness and some sugar so I can make some more bars.  

The joys of baking and creating an error so you can't enjoy the goodness that was to be had... :(

Have a great day!
