Halloween is all about the sights and sounds, decorations, and costumes! The kids and kids at heart all enjoy trick-or-treating, watching monster movies and of course the great costume parties. The joys of this fall holiday are all wonderful reminders of just why we love it so much!
And what great party doesn't have fun food to help celebrate? Whether you're throwing a Halloween Costume party or you just want to make cute party favors for your child's classroom, these fun recipes will inspire you to make tasty (and sometimes spooky) treats!
One of our favorites we just couldn't keep our eyes off of were these Gooey Monster Cookies, By Lil' Luna. The trick to making them soft and gooey is the ingredients you use; very different than a traditional baked cookie.
Directions for these cookies can be found on the full recipe tutorial at Lil Luna's Site.
