Trick or Treat!!!
In honor of rapidly approaching Halloween; we tried desperately to find a Halloween-themed recipe. Unfortunately, lamb flavored candy recipes are hard to find… until we found this delicious recipe from The American Lamb Board! Now, We’re not entirely sure how the neighborhood would react to Lamb Lollipops in the trick or treat bag, (personally, I’d come back for seconds!) so this should probably just be a fun dish to eat while handing out candy to the little trick or treaters at the door. Enjoy!
