Bloody Eyeball Sangria Cocktail (A Spooky Halloween Cocktail Recipe)

October 20, 2021 by Faith 1 Comment

This Bloody Eyeball Sangria Cocktail is a fun Halloween drink that’s fruity, subtly spiced, and surprisingly delicious. You won’t believe how easy it is to make, and simple it is to transform it into a mocktail!

A couple years ago my niece and I made a Murder Cake for Halloween. We went all out on it, and it was truly epic! (If you want, you can see more pictures of it here.)

It was a four-layer cake with alternating layers of fudgy brownies and red velvet cake with vanilla buttercream. It was decorated with sugar glass shards stabbing into the top, and edible blood oozing out.

Oh, it was a sight for sore eyes. As you can well imagine, it was horrific!…

Bloody Halloween Cupcakes Recipe

Bloody Halloween Cupcakes are easy to make and deliciously spooky with raspberry jam edible fake blood (made without corn syrup!), vanilla buttercream, and soft, tender yellow cake. This Bloody Halloween Cupcakes recipe is along the same vein as my Murder Cake (no pun intended, lol). If you’re looking for a fun treat for a Halloween party that’s both creepy and crowd-pleasing, this is it. And they aren’t any more difficult to make than any other cupcakes!...

Butterbeer Brown Butter Blondies with Toasted Pecans (Inspired by Harry Potter)

October 15, 2021 by Faith 6 Comments

These Butterbeer Brown Butter Blondies with Toasted Pecans feature the rich buttery brown sugar sweetness of butterbeer (think butterscotch vanilla!). And like any good blondie, they’re gooey-centered and completely indulgent. What could be a more perfect fall snack for curling up on the couch and reading or watching Harry Potter? I always wonder what gets a person excited. And I don’t mean regular excited, I mean the kind of excitement that’s palpable. The kind of excited that makes someone’s eyes light up with passion and their voice resonate with happiness....

Polyjuice Potion

September 12, 2021 by Faith 1 Comment

In the magical world of Harry Potter, Polyjuice Potion allows the drinker to transform into someone else. Our version features butterfly pea flowers in a delicious color-changing minty lime herbal brew. It’s perfect for a Halloween celebration or Harry Potter-themed party! This post has been a long time coming for me. Every fall for the last decade or so, my niece and I would religiously watch our way through the entire Harry Potter movie series. We could recite most of the lines, but it never got old or boring. The opposite, in fact. Watching it again every year when the weather started to change somehow […]...

Butterbeer Popcorn (Inspired by Harry Potter)

October 16, 2020 by Faith 15 Comments

This easy homemade Butterbeer Popcorn is inspired by Harry Potter with a butterscotch vanilla flavor and the sweet crunch of caramel popcorn. I wish all year could be autumn. I’d be bundled up in a cozy scarf drinking apple cider and eating roasted winter squash every day. And that’s not even to mention how much I love car rides in the country to take in the glorious fall foliage, and pumpkin spice lattes, which, incidentally, always seem to taste best in fall....

Butterbeer Pudding {Inspired by Harry Potter}

October 31, 2016 by Faith 2 Comments

Butterbeer Pudding inspired by Harry Potter whips up on the stovetop in just 20 minutes for a fun festive treat! I’m in shock that tomorrow is November. To say I’m pinching myself is an understatement; I’m basically throwing my head against the wall and wailing. Because where did this year go?!...

Maple Walnut Cheesecake Truffles {Dairy-Free; Gluten-Free; Naturally-Sweetened}

With that evil temptation of a holiday coming at us this Friday, I had to take preemptive measures. Otherwise, I knew I’d be doomed....

Healthy Candy Apple Wedges {Paleo}

October 30, 2013 by Faith 40 Comments

How many of you will admit to sneaking some of your kid’s Halloween candy when no one is looking? I don’t have kids (yet!), but yeah, I’d be guilty as charged. It’s the stuff we won’t buy for ourselves, but if it’s just hanging around, it’s fair game. If you didn’t buy it for yourself, the calories don’t count, right? ;) I like to have healthier treats that will still satisfy a sweet tooth at the ready....

Superfood Spiced Autumn Truffles

October 27, 2012 by Faith 14 Comments

Look…they look like fudge inside! If you’re trying to avoid regular (read: sugar-coma-inducing) candy, this recipe will be your saving grace on Halloween night. Halloween at my mom’s house is like a free-for-all when it comes to sugar. She always has an insanely huge amount of candy on hand for giving away to kiddos trick-or-treating. She fills a stockpot (which is about four times as big as my normal big soup pot!) to the point of overflowing, and then it’s a frenzied dash for stuffing your bag (and your face) with candy. It is so hard to avoid that evil pot of temptation....
