Recipe Carnival: Halloween Recipe Edition

No secret that I have a slight "pumpkin addiction," so it's fitting that I am hosting a Halloween edition of the Recipe Carnival. This week's featured recipes are all perfect for your Monster Bash, or the little monsters next door. Except maybe the pumpkin latte — kids on sugar AND caffeine would make for a very scary Halloween indeed.

In the interest of transparency, I will confess that the "Treat Bags" I am making for my preschooler's Halloween party contain Goldfish crackers, fruit leather and art supplies. I am a wicked witch! But, parents of sugar-overloaded power rangers and princesses will thank me later as they peel the little ones off the ceilings and tuck them in after the inevitable sugar crash.

Then, I might just have some of the mulled cider below — spiked, for a treat of my own.
