October is arguably the best month of the year — the air is crisp and inviting, the leaves are ablaze with color, and pumpkin spice flavored everything lines the grocery shelves. But perhaps the best part of October is Halloween, the epicenter for creativity and imagination in everything from costumes and parties to candy and snacks. And let’s be real — it’s an unspoken competition to see who can host the most smashing bash. 

So, skip the boring veggie platters and wow your party guests with the following deliciously spooky treats instead.

Caramel Apple Nachos

Nachos with a sweet, Halloween twist. These will go quickly, trust us!

Jalapeno Popper Mummies

These little guys are as cute as they are delicious. They aren’t as difficult as you might think, but do allow for about 30 minutes of prep time, not including baking time.

Hocus Pocus Punch

With only three ingredients, this festive punch is so easy and tasty, you might just decide to drink it all year round.
