Halloween Party Snacks

Patrick and I recently had an awesome Halloween party with some great friends. I dressed up as a pregnant 50's housewife and Patrick dressed up as the milkman...tee hee. It was a lot of fun and I made A LOT of snacks. Some of which are still dwelling in my overflowing fridge. I thought I'd share some of the recipes I used for the party in case anyone would like to throw one of their own. I love entertaining and playing hostess. It's always a great time. We ended up even having people stay until midnight which was such a pleasant surprise. After some awesome games of flip cup it was finally time to say goodnight. I would not have been able to pull off such a great party, however, without the help of my friend Lauren C and the movie Bridesmaids to keep us entertained while cooking. So, here are some of the recipes...enjoy!
