Creepy-Crawly Spider Cider
Want to make your guests really squirm? Try serving a Creepy-Crawly Spider Cider at your Halloween Bash! One of my favorite Fall drinks is a hot apple cider with a little spiced rum. I love the combo of the spicy rum and cider sweetness. It's even better when you can dress it up for your Halloween festivities and give your guests something to squirm over while they sip. A Creepy-Crawly Spider Cider will make spines tingle for all the right reaso... Read More ›

Black Gumball Cocktail
I’ve made no secret of my love for a theme cocktail for entertaining, and that goes double for my ongoing fascination with bubble gum flavored vodka. Halloween, with its focus on parties and, well, candy, is the perfect time for both! The Black Gumball Cocktail is perfect for the ghoulish holiday – confectionary inspired, not too boozy - and, let’s face it - the black Sambuca at the bottom coordinates well with Halloween decorations! ...

How to Mix Spooky Cocktails with Dry Ice
Want to turn that standard libation into a spooky beverage that looks like it’s straight out of a mad scientist’s lab? The secret ingredient is dry ice. A chip or two of food-grade dry ice, available online or at many local grocery stores, will get that cocktail smoking and bubbling so much that your guests will start shouting, “It’s alive!” These beverages are perfect for Halloween parties and any other ghoulish gathering that calls f...

Halloween Nutella Pop Tarts
I originally thought these Nutella Pop Tarts would be a great kids party dessert. Well, they are indeed. However, the audience for these chocolate-y little bits of yumminess was way beyond what I intended! The Nutella Pop Tarts’ maiden voyage as a quick dessert at a friend’s dinner party was a hit . . . even though the trial batch was slightly burned, they disappeared off the plate lickety split! Since my initial, slightly over-crisped at... Read More ›

Monster “Mash”mallow Cereal Treats
October’s plenty busy. The kids’ school assignments are getting harder, football season’s in full swing and then there’s Halloween. You’re either making costumes, buying costumes or reinventing old ones. (Last year’s pirate, with bandana and fake earring, is this year’s gypsy!) Add in repeated trips to the store to buy candy, pumpkins, the pumpkin-carving tools you forgot when you bought the pumpkins and the ever-increasing vats of... Read More ›

Pizza Roll Graveyard

Pizza Roll Graveyard
There are a lot of good Halloween centerpieces out there, but few you’d actually want to eat. I mean, sure, mist billowing out of a well-carved pumpkin looks impressive, but all you’re left with is dried out squash and a couple of burns from the dry ice. You need something vaguely creepy, vaguely easy, and, most importantly, very tasty. Stuffing lychees with blueberries to make delicately tropical eyeballs might work, however, these are a li...

Trick-a-Treat: Deviled Spiderweb Eggs
If you really want to spook-ify your Halloween party table, Spiderweb Deviled Eggs will do the trick for your treats. When Tbsperin showed me the Spiderweb Deviled Eggs from the Pillsbury Halloween Best Recipes magazine, my spider senses told me I just had to try them out. The chipotle mayo flavored filling sounded delicious, and they looked awesome in a “kinda-creepy-but-will-eat-a-dozen-by-myself” kind of way. Now while it’s stand... Read More ›
