Halloween is near and it’s time to start planning such as carving pumpkins, getting Halloween costumes ready along with food, drinks, candy and treats for a Halloween party.
We’ve already started planning and created a menu of some of these Spooky Halloween Treats for the kids and this Hocus Pocus Amuck Cocktail for the adults.
