a collage of Halloween inspired recipes

I absolutely love Halloween! I’ve always loved monsters and ghosts and all the spooky decorations and themed food that you get with Halloween…the only problem is that I’m Australian.

We don’t really celebrate Halloween here. Up until a few years ago, nobody in our town ever went trick-or-treating – and by the time people did start doing it, I was too old to be walking round town dressed as a monster, begging for sweets.

That aside, I still love to celebrate the spooky holiday (even if it’s not a holiday here) in my own way.

So today I’ve rounded up the very best Halloween treats, drinks and deliciously scary party food to help you celebrate the spooky season too! So without further ado, let’s get into it!
