I booked a show today and the lady would like to do a Halloween Theme. I'm all excited about this and have several ideas rushing through my head, but I was wondering if any of you have ever done one of these. If so, would you mind sharing your success/what I'd do different stories? If not, do you have any good ideas?

Any help/suggestions is greatly appreciated.
 
I am doing a Halloween Booth, so waiting on ideas too, :) Hope we gets lots!
 
im having a party too. I bought a cleopatra outfit and wig. The host is going to dress up like a pampered chef consultant... but need recipe ideas.
 
i actually have 2 different hosts that have booked the 20th and 27th that want halloween theme shows. I don't know know what I should cook let alone how to theme the whole show.
 
There are a bunch of pumpkin recipe's why not try one of those??

I tried a recipe a few years ago that was a pumpkin dip. It was delicious. I'm not sure if it was PC or not. Anyone know about this? Have the recipe?
 
Spiced Pumpkin Pie Spread
1/4 cup pecan halves, coarsely chopped
4 ounces (reduced-fat cream cheese)
1 can (15 ounces) solid pack pumpkin
1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice
1/4 cup miniature marshmallows
2 red or green apples, cut into wedges
Cinnamon Pastry Wedges (optional)

Preheat oven to 350°F. Coarsely chop pecans using Food Chopper. In Classic Batter Bowl, whisk cream cheese until smooth using Stainless Steel Whisk. Add pumpkin, brown sugar and spice blend; mix well. Spoon mixture into Small Oval Baker using Small Mix 'N Scraper®. Top with marshmallows and pecans.

Bake 12-15 minutes or until marshmallows are light golden brown. Cut apples into wedges using Crinkle Cutter. Serve warm with apple wedges and Cinnamon Pastry Wedges, if desired.

Does anyone have a cute flyer that they could share for Halloween? Someone sent me this one, but I was trying to see if there is anything else out there...
