When I get a chance to make a “Blood & Brains Cranberry Martini” I take it and enjoy my drink with a smile! I love this season because it brings out all the creepy and spooky things that I love. The bonus is that people won’t stare too much, at least not for the wrong reasons lol! I asked high and low for links to find my favorite spooky themed drinks and the internet did not disappoint! Here are The Spookiest Halloween Drink Recipes Ever!
Here is another fun and super easy recipe I have made with the kids this week. I can not tell you enough how much I love to create EASY things! It gives me so much time to be able to enjoy the treats and watch a Halloween movie. We bake a lot during the cold months because not only does it seem that there is more time to spend indoors, but it also warms up the house! I hope you enjoy our recipe for learning How to Make Delicious Chocolate Creepy Trees.

Ah, what to do with all this leftover candy!? Once everyone’s gotten sick of eating candy on its own (who am I kidding?!). Has that ever happened? There’s no way our candy lasts until we’re sick of it. While I love chocolate as is, some of them could use a twist. I’ve put together a list of 70+ different recipes that use different candies to make some seriously delicious treats. There’s everything from cookies and brownies to pies and cheesecakes. The one I’m dying to try is the Candy Corn butter, which they say tastes just like Butterfingers. Definitely something I’ll have to make and eat sparingly! I hope you enjoy The Ultimate Leftover Candy Recipe Collection!
This is such an amazing treat for anyone, whether you’re having a party or just want some adorable treats for yourself; these are a super easy fix. It’s so easy that little kids can do this craft all by themselves. It’s perfect for a themed party dessert table or activity; or just a fun night in! I hope you enjoy How to Make the Sweetest Filled Witch’s Hats! You will definitely love the convenience of this fun activity!
Being the Mom of boys has major advantages, I get to live out my fun and creepy love for themed food around gross things season 😉 I love that they can get an idea, say it out loud and we work on the execution together. See what I did there? I love this time of the year! While shopping for our meal plan this month, I saw a box of pasta and immediately thought BRAINS! The kids didn’t see it and laughed, but I saw it, the vision of gross brains on a plate! Please indulge me in reading about my creation on How to Make Creepy Brain Pasta!
The kids and I love making cookies during the cold weather months and bonus points if they are for gifts. Of course not everyone has the time to sit and intricately pipe 50 lace designs on cookies and that’s why this has become my favorite design. With just a magical mix of sprinkles and some pretty letters, you have a gorgeous cookie with a gourmet look. How to Make Beautiful Pumpkin Harvest Cookies for this Fall and Thanksgiving season!
