Williams-Sonoma Halloween Pancakes Review & Giveaway

Holidays suddenly become more fun when you have kids, maybe because it makes you feel like a kid again yourself.  It’s so fun to treat the kids to little things to make the holidays special. Halloween mini pancakes are most definitely a treat!  Whip up a batch of mini pancakes in the shape of bats, ghosts, pumpkins and cats for your little darlings with Halloween Mini Pancake Molds from Williams-Sonoma.  The set of four steel molds with fold-down handles for compact storage make it easy.  Just place the molds on a pre-heated griddle and pour in the batter.  After the first side has set, remove the molds using the handles and flip the pancakes to cook the other side.  For less mess, try a Pancake Pen.  You can mix the batter right in the bottle using the measurement markings on the side the screw on the top and shake to mix.  Use the pen to squeeze the batter exactly where you need it.  The pancake pen features a removable bottom to make it easy to refill as needed.  Serve up a hauntingly cool breakfast with Williams-Sonoma Mini Pancake Molds.  They retail for around $20 for the 4 piece set.

You could use any type of pancake mix but this Spiced Pan Pumpkin Mix is perfect for the season.  Just add milk, butter, and eggs.  The Pancake Pen is pretty awesome, especially with the Pancake Molds but with this batter, small chunks of pecans sometimes get stuck in the tip.  I had a bit of a hard time releasing the pancakes from the molds when it was time to turn them but I forgot to spray them with cooking oil first and probably didn’t wait long enough before turning them.  It probably would have helped to read the directions first.  We had pancakes for dinner and they were a hit with the whole family.  They would have been over the top scrumptious with whipping cream on top but we didn’t have any.  Maybe next time!
