15 Incredible Halloween Party Recipes is the best guide to planning the most delicious Halloween recipes – for kids and adults!
Our Halloween party is located outside – so we hope the weather stays decent. We’ve gotten lucky most years, except for the time when we had no power for two week because of a hurricane…but even more reason to light up the fire pit and have a few cocktails.
By week two without power I can tell you…we needed the cocktails. But most years we get pretty lucky, even some years it’s been really warm like in the 70’s – and for Jersey that’s pretty warm for October.
So what we do is gather a bunch of neighbors and friends, make a bunch of food and drinks and light a fire. That way we’re hanging outside with the kids but having our own fun too.
Lots of these 15 Incredible Halloween Party Recipes are pumpkin based, to keep festive of course, but a few are just good, fun Halloween themed recipes to serve at a party.
Or for trick-or-treating…Lots of yummy Halloween recipes and Halloween cocktails for anyone walking by.
