Ghoulish Fun and Treats!



So our fabulous friends, Melanie and Bradford, are throwing a party for Halloween. And that is just another reason why they are fabulous. I LOVE Halloween. Always have. I think it has to do with the fact that my birthday is like 4 days before and we always had amazing Halloween parties when I was growing up. My mom would decorate the house as much if not more than if it was Christmas! I had the best costumes. When I was 2 or 3 I told my mom I wanted to be an apple. Not a princess, not shera...no no, and apple. The fruit. As resourceful as my mom is, she put me in a white sweatsuit, and cut out two large poster boards and pasted an apple shape on my front and back, and I had a lil stem for a hat. The best part, was that she also cut out words for the back of my adorable outfit. It said " I'm an apple!" just in case there was any confusion! If I find that picture I'll post. But anyways back to my giddy-ness for this upcoming party. Melanie doesn't know it yet, but I am going to make some Treats...Halloween-ish treats that is.
Sooooo, I've been looking for something in my cooking ability range and something fun, unexpected and oh so cute...Here are some things I've come up with, but we'll see what I actually do! Carmel Corn from Insightful Nana (not really scary, but looks so yummy!), and then Spider Cookies, Cheesy Goblin Head and Tombstone Brownies from Better Homes and Garden's website.
I'll keep you posted on the final outcome!

Hooray for Halloween!!!! It is my all time favorite holiday. One year I was humpty dumpty... yeah... talk about crazy. I wore a giant cardboard egg with a top and everything. I had to have someone hold my hand as I walked b/c I couldn't see out of the dagum thing. I can't wait for the party!
