But first, we caught up with Holiday Party Expert and celebrity guest blogger Daisy Kuchins for her 4 best Easy Tips to make your holiday haunt more fun than a Vampire's Ball! She told us:
"As the editor of a holiday website, I see a lot of creative Halloween ideas - crafts, recipes, decorating tips and costume ideas start coming in from my writers when October begins. Through the years there are some ideas that I've adopted and are now my go-to’s every year. The common denominator to all these crafts and recipes is that they are super easy, which I am all about. When I need to bring a dish to a party or an activity to do with the kids, these are my favorite EASY Halloween tricks I have up my sleeve."
Craft: Mummified Jar Candle Holders With a new baby this Halloween, I can truly appreciate DIY and crafts that are easy without necessarily looking it. That’s one reason why I love this decorative craft. It’s cheap to make and you might even have everything you need around the house. |
|
Treat: Tombstone Brownies This Halloween treat is one of my favorite go-to recipes for parties. They are easy enough to make, since they are only semi-homemade, and they really make me look more creative than I think I am. kids will love to make, and eat these brownies. |
|
Pumpkin Decorating: Halloween Glitter Pumpkins One reason I love this glitter pumpkin craft is because it can be used for Halloween and Thanksgiving. It is a great inexpensive centerpiece for an elegant Fall bash. |
|
Finger Food: Mummy Dogs These Halloween appetizers are so ridiculously easy, and both kids and adults will love them. For bite-size appetizers just use cocktail weiners. For a slightly more upscale version use phyllo dough and sausages. If your kids are free have them help you create the mummy dogs; they'll love making them as much as they love eating them. |

My favorite candy at Halloween is Mounds. Something about chocolate and coconut makes me feel like I'm a kid again.

Love the butterfinger...or peanut butter cups...YUMMY!!!
Oldie but a goodie... m&ms are still my guilty pleasure!
reeses peanut butter cups hands down!
My Favorite Halloween Candy is Candy Corn I love that stuff!
Junior Mints
Reese's Peanut butter cups! What could possibly be a better combination of flavors? They just make me happy.
I love it when my kids come home from trick or treating with 100 Grand bars. They can be hard to find at some stores. I love them!
The little boxes of milkduds.
I have always loved getting Reese's Peanut Butter Cups in my halloween bag. It was the only time I was allowed to have them growing up. My parents didn't give us candy any other time than Easter, and for Halloween we had to go out and hope the neighbors had plenty of Reese's Peanut Butter Cups or at least chocolate!! Now they have the giant BIG Reese cups!!
I love anything chocolate, but my favorites are m&ms.
I love candy corn! and the candy pumpkins! the original kinds not all the different flavored ones.
Well...since Gummy Worms and Gummy Bears are my all time favorite candy I just love it when they make all those fun and freaky gummy candies at Halloween!
oh, those black and orange wrapped things...peanut butter kisses! my truly favorite Halloween candy! I buy a couple bags as soon as they hit the stores. and this year, I added caramel apple taffy to that, too!
