Swamp Juice is hands down my favorite Halloween beverage... especially for a party! There is just something so wonderfully disgusting about that bottom layer of fish eggs made from tapioca pearls and the little swamp creatures "swimming" through them.

I love these Ghost and Mummy Chocolate Covered Strawberries ! Aren't they cute and eating them makes me feel pampered... or somehow like it is a special occasion.

Hello my pretties! Imagine receiving an invitation to attend a a halloween bash hosted by Hagatha the Witch. You arrive at the witch's home on a dark, dark night.
