Frozen "Boo"-nana Pops. With Halloween only a week away, I thought I would share these cute ghost-shaped frozen white chocolate banana treats. This is a fun project to make with the kids and what kid doesn't like chocolate covered bananas. Just ask my little one! This makes four pops but you will have plenty of extra chocolate if you want to make more. Each banana has about 1/2 oz of chocolate, that is how I based the nutritional info.

Goblins and ghosts are one thing at Hallowe’en, but a full-page glossy photo of Rose’s Great Pumpkin Cake is in quite a separate realm of terror.
If you plan to make it, that is. Or, more specifically, if you’ve rashly promised to take that very cake to a Hallowe’en party in full knowledge of the fact that you have never before made either a caramel crème anglaise or an Italian meringue, and that these very tasks now lie between you and the burnt orange silk meringue buttercream that covers this cake so smoothly and so beautifully in that horrifyingly daunting photo on page 127 of Rose’s Heavenly Cakes. Not only did I promise this cake to my friends and hosts for Hallowe’en this year, but I felt doubly bound to attempt this cake in gratitude to Rose for having very kindly lugged the pumpkin-shaped cake pan halfway across the world in her baggage for me earlier this year.
“I can’t wait to see the look on your children’s faces when they see this cake,” she told me. You might also like: 41 Cutest Halloween Food Ideas.

A Turtle's Life for Me: Halloween Pudding Cups! I saw these on Pinterest but, unfortunately, the blog is private/invitation-only so I can’t link to it!
Booo! (get it? Boo! Because it’s for Halloween!!) But they were super easy and my daughter helped a ton! She drew all the faces on the cups with a black Sharpie, while I made 9 batches of vanilla pudding that I tinted green. 30 cups later, we are all ready for her class tomorrow! Super, super easy! We used vanilla pudding because they were for her class and I didn’t want to bring pistachio and worry about nut allergies. Linking up to:The Girl Creative, Today’s Creative Blog, Natalie Hi, I'm Natalie and I like to move slowly (like a turtle, if you will)! Creepy Treats for Halloween.
I grew up in Greenwich Village, home of the infamous Village Halloween Parade, and for many years I thought of the evening as an adult holiday where children were tolerated—or more commonly ignored—in a celebration that called for increasingly elaborate and creative costumes and rites. Flash forward a few decades and I am now a mom in one of the most kid-centric neighborhoods in New York. The same amount of creativity is forthcoming on October 31st, except this time around it is channeled into kids’ costumes, bake sale treats, and party snacks. After several years of cookie-baking marathons and (unappreciated) homemade costumes, I finally feel prepared.
My daughter has taken care of her costume (or rather, we bought one at Target) and I have the food covered, thanks to the recipes in Ghoulish Goodies (Storey Publishing, $14.95). The brainchild of Sharon Bowers, a former Food Network staffer, the cookbook is packed with clever, easy, and delightfully gross Halloween treats. 1. 2.
