It makes me a little sad to think my kids are getting older and we no longer have the “playgroup” Halloween party I had hosted for so many years. I never made it scary but just a fun get together where friends all pitched in with their favorite Halloween recipes and I was able to get out my Halloween Decorating ideas and make the room festive for our guests. Now I have Pinterest in drool over and one day will reinstitute our Halloween Party. here are so not so Spooky Halloween Recipes Round UP 2013
While I still can make some fun Halloween recipes I thought I would share some of my wish list Halloween Recipe Ideas I found on Pinterest and have used on Close to Home in the past. It is never too early to plan for Halloween.
No So Spooky Halloween Recipes
Oreo Candy Bark is a great way to use up Halloween Candy and easy enough to make for a spontaneous Halloween Gathering. You can customize it for your tastes.

These totally remind me of the treats my mom used to make for me and my friends for my birthday parties growing up (my birthday’s 11 days before Halloween, so we usually combined the 2 parties). What a great throwback!
