Halloween recipes are the best because they aren't neat and pretty. As a matter of fact, some of the best Halloween recipes are a complete mess and that is the beauty of it.
I'm not super creative when it comes to Halloween, maybe because I'm already in Thanksgiving prep mode, but my friends are pretty creative.
Scroll through to see their best Halloween recipes from Appetizer and co*cktails to gruesome entrees and delightfully spooky desserts!

Yay, this is so much Halloween fun gathered in one spot! I have so many fun things that I want to make. I'll have to let the kids browse this and pick out of a few of their own, as well - thanks for the resource!

This is probably the best Halloween mashup I've seen! I use to love Halloween. Since I've had my babies I'm not really into it at all. I guess my over protective side came out and I don't want any part of the scary part or meaning of it. However, I know they love it...so I am trying to get better. I'm not going to go all out and decorate all crazy, but themed food would be acceptable and fun 🙂
