The month of October is the spookiest time of the year! Halloween is creeping up sooner than you think so it's time to get your spook on. What better way to do this than by making fun and easy Halloween treats with your friends and family? I know it's hard to get in the holiday spirit when you're away from home. It can be hard to find ways to decorate and participate in Halloween festivities, so making treats with your friends is a great way to enjoy the holiday while treating yourself. I have listed five Halloween treats that I've absolutely loved making with my friends and family, and I know you will too.
