Halloween Punch
Punch is great for any party! This recipe is kid-friendly, but if you add some vodka and caution tape, and you’ve got yourself a fun adult cocktail. We suggest getting some fun halloween themed candy, to garnish the glasses with! Try to serve the punch in a sealed pitcher to avoid spooky droplets.
Boo Bark
Spook up your Halloween party with some Boo Bark! This is such a fun and simple dessert for all ages. The great thing about this recipe is that it can be a base for so many other topping choices such as: pretzel pieces, crushed oreos, candy corn and more! Prior to putting the bark in the freezer to set, be sure to score the bark with a sharp knife so that it will break easier upon serving.
