How Halloween Became My Favorite Family Tradition — Halloween Hospitality

I love Halloween. I love the fact that kids of all ages come from other neighborhoods to trick-or-treat. (This is also known as neighborhood hopping and I think it’s great.) I love sitting on the porch and handing out candy and talking to anyone who comes by. And I love that my friends come over to help me celebrate.

Every year we host a drop-in Halloween pumpkin chili party; it’s become something of a tradition. But it wasn’t always this way, and I have my mother-in-law to thank.

Tips for Making Dry Ice Last Longer — BOO-zy Halloween

Dry ice can help create a spooky effect at your next Halloween party, but if it isn’t properly stored, it will dissipate into a fog before you actually need it to. Dry ice is the frozen form of carbon dioxide, which is why, instead of melting into a liquid when heated, it instead turns into a gas. Since it’s so cold (an extra-frigid -109.3°Fm to be exact), it melts or actually, per the scientific term, sublimates into a gas rather quickly. Luckily, there are a couple tips to follow that will ensure your dry ice stays frozen until you need it to billow spooky fog long into the night.

Brownies Go Boo! With a Gummy Worm Graveyard — Brownies Go Boo

My birthday falls just before Halloween, and these gummy worm garden brownies were served at almost every Halloween birthday party from the time I was 4 until I turned 12. What looks like frosting on top of these brownies is actually chocolate pudding, making this the greatest combination of brownies, pudding, candy, and crushed cookies ever. It really is the perfect dessert for your Halloween parties.

The Best Tool for Peeling Winter Squash — Tips from The Kitchn

Peeling firm winter squash (I’m looking at you, butternut) can go one of two ways: It can be so seamless and easy that you never give it a second thought, or you regard it as one of the most frustrating tasks of the season. As for which camp you’re in, I’d argue it all depends on the tool you use for peeling. As you welcome winter squash season to your kitchen, this is the tool you’ll want to keep by your side.
