Halloween Table

Colorful cookies, black devil’s food cake, hot apple cider and cool caramel crunchies. Carrot straws and more goodies to bake, a yummy table set with Halloween munchies. Bring out the brownies and round soulcake, toffee apples, moon pies, and mixed nuts. Scatter spaghetti brains on eyeballs fake. Serve honey nut toes in green gelatin guts. Tiny, evil faces on purple boiled eggs. orange cotton candy for banshee updo. Break out the cups for slurpee kegs. Time to drink wicked witches brew. Marshmallow bodies and pretzel stick bones. Skeletons covered in ghoulish green gore. Sharp squeaky cheese sounds eerie tones. Eat till you’re full, then eat some more.

Those were the days when children could safely eat their treats! Today, parents must check each treat to ensure it has not been poisoned, does not contain needles, is not an opiate, etc., Memorable write, Linda! Aloha!

Yes, the good old days. Now, they buy (don't bake) sugar-pumped treats. Trick-or-treating is confined to block parties (can you trust a trunk?).

You are welcome anytime Wendy. There are so many spooky recipes out there, though most today do not have the creepiness of spaghetti brains LOL

Tradition demands it. Costumes and treats.

Weird and decadent delight, on the monsters night, such a fest, you write well on sweetness in such a plight. I escaped for a moment but like hansel got caught and was fill with the anticipation of these goodies. Nicely done Alice
