11 Spooktacular Halloween Recipes

Halloween wasn't really something that my family has ever really done. But it has been so lovely discovering new autumn traditions with my own family. We always take her pumpkin picking at a local pumpkin patch to search for the biggest pumpkin we can find, as well as getting some smaller ones to use as autumn décor in our home.

Nothing gets us into the spirit of Halloween than getting into the kitchen to make some spooktacular sweet treats. So, I thought today would be the perfect time to share 11 favourite Spooktacular recipes that you serve at a party or for your trick-or-treaters to enjoy.  These Halloween treats come together in a snap—really!
