There's nothing we love more than a good excuse to throw a party, and Halloween is all that and a bag of candy. However, if candy corn, caramel apples and armloads of Reese's pieces just aren't doing it for you this year, we're turning the scare-o-meter up a few notches with some scary Halloween treats. Our selection of scary food is sure to get your crowd talking (but of course, we had to draw the line somewhere between cheeky and downright frightful!) We're serving up scares with to-die-for desserts and mouth-watering appetizers your guests won't soon forget. The kiddos will get plenty of giggles over googly-eyed ghouls, but not to worry: we didn't forget to include a few boozy treats for the adults. Don't be a fraidy-cat, and serve one of these scary Halloween desserts and appetizers at your next Halloween gathering. (But you should be warned: you may be tempted to gobble these up even before guests arrive!)
