Trick or Treat! Are you ready for Halloween?

There is a chill in the air and before we know it Halloween will be here!

With less than a week to go until the Spooky Day, all things mundane seem to undergo a spooky transformation. Pretty pumpkins become grimacing jack-o-lanterns and even offices and schools are decked with bat decorations or a few flying witches.

So,why not food, too? My love for baking, made me cross paths with this Halloween fun and easy to do snack. Try it out and turn your snacktime into a freakishly fun meal.
