If we know you as well as we think we know you, you probably already have everything you need to recreate this eerie mood lighting. What’s that, you ask? Empty wine bottles. Lots and lots of empty wine bottles.

The folks over at Style Me Pretty threw a Halloween party for grown-ups and they added all the drama and elegance you’d expect. They went all out with ribbon-tied flatware, professionally done flowers, an all-black dessert table, and an all-white cocktail table.

Even if you’re just making a low-key dinner for two, you can still steal the best part of this table.

My lack of very essential American food experiences is something of a running joke around the office. I don’t own a microwave or a slow cooker; I have never eaten meatloaf or, until recently, spaghetti squash (it’s delicious, it turns out, especially when it’s dressed with a creamy, tomatoey sauce); I have been to Trader Joe’s probably once in my life, which is also the number of times I have eaten a Big Mac; and I have yet to try an Egg McMuffin.

My food naïveté (we’ll call it that because it sounds better than ignorance) is largely due to the fact that my mother is German.

It’s hard to find wholesome treats among the chocolate, candy corn, and gummy candies that fill the Halloween season — but here’s one that still keeps the sweetness intact. Thanks to apples and nut butter, this fun-looking (and better-tasting) marshmallow treat is something that won’t make your teeth hurt from being too sweet.
