It’s almost that time again. The time to get real creepy and maybe even real freaky, and scare some friends at a Halloween party. Before you get wild you’ll want to enjoy the refreshments and snacks because they’ll be extra suped up for the occasion. And one thing people always remember about a party is how good the food is or isn’t. So, what’s your cooking level? Pro chef or quick fixer?
