\"featureHalloween\"<\/a><\/p>\n

It’s that time of year again. When we  get to bring out the inner child and have some Halloween fun.  In an earlier blog<\/a>, we shared some great ideas for carving pumpkins with some personality. Now let’s dig in to some ghoulishly looking treats to make any Halloween party complete.  Each of these recipes are easy to do and tasty too.  So here are some favourites to try this year.<\/p>\n

Deviled Spider Eggs<\/span><\/strong>
\nTalk about easy. If you know how to make deviled eggs, adding black olives creates a creepy effect, and the directions<\/a> are simple!<\/p>\n

Dracula’s Dentures<\/span><\/strong>
\nTold you I was keeping it simple.  Chocolate chip cookies, vanilla frosting (tinted red) and marshmallows.  Don’t forget the slivered almonds for the fangs.  There’s a great tutorial here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Saucy Spider<\/span><\/strong>
\nOne of the great things about Halloween cooking is even if you mess up while creating, the result still works in your favour.  Like this Saucy Spider made of pizza dough and grated cheese.  Mine didn’t come out looking nearly as good as the photo below, but it still got the point across.  Here’s the recipe<\/a>, send photos of your finished product.<\/p>\n
