One of the best things about Halloween is the treats and food. As any proper magical being would know, they have their own way of making that happen. It seems humans just adapt to it.

Here I have decided to include the Vampire taste. Now of course, we know the true vampire has a taste for...well...blood. But as I have no interest in changing someone into a vampire, I have included a couple of alternatives for the vampire taste.

Vampire Blood Soup

Vampire Velvet Red Cheesecake

Happy eating.

Day 7: Nothing Like A Good Bat Bakeoff #CountdowntoHalloween2026 #food

I don't know about you but one of the things I love about Halloween is the foods. I do not mean the gobs of candy. I mean the baked goods and yummy dinner parties curated by Halloween looks. Think zombie brain Jello, squishy worm spaghetti, and witch hat brownies. Oh yum!

I have a time or two watched bake offs including the show, British Bakeoff where several bakers compete for the top prize. Check out some of the recipes at the link above or HERE. Pumpkin pie anyone?
