1. Get Horrifyingly Hydrated

Set the stage for your Halloween feast with the stunning Citrouille Glass Drink Dispenser. This spooky yet chic centerpiece is perfect for serving up a chillingly delicious punch. Consider concocting a “blood orange soda” or “cranberry juice” beverage that will have your guests shivering with delight. The dark, rich tones of the drink will perfectly complement your Halloween aesthetic.

2. Serve Spooky Food

For a main course that’s both delicious and ominous, prepare a squid ink pasta with mussels. We served this spine-tingling dish in our black Storm Serveware/Bakeware. The dark, brooding serveware complements the Halloween theme, making your meal a visual feast as well. The eerie black pasta will have your guests marveling at your culinary creativity.

3. Bring out the showstopper

Presenting your eerie desserts is just as important as the treats themselves. We created a spine-chilling black cake adorned with spooky elements and decor. Elevate your cake’s presentation by serving it on our Black Figaro Platter. Its deep, moody hue adds a mysterious touch to your dessert table. Your guests won’t be able to resist a slice of this gothic masterpiece.

4. Black and Dark Accents

To complete the Halloween look, make sure to incorporate dark, black accents wherever you can. We used a black dinnerware set and paired it with a black and gold flatware set and used drinkware with black stems to complete the look. This created a cohesive look for a perfectly spooky and aesthetically pleasing Halloween tablescape.

Remember, Halloween isn’t just about tricks and treats; it’s also an opportunity to let your creativity shine. With the right tableware and a dash of imagination, you can create a Halloween tablescape that leaves your guests both spooked and spellbound. Happy haunting!

These no-bake granola bars are packed with wholesome ingredients, including dates, oats and seeds. Plus, the bars themselves are made in under 10 minutes and don’t require any baking. You can then decorate them as you wish. If you’re not making them for Halloween, try adding just a simple chocolate drizzle (or nothing at all!).

No-Bake Mummy Granola Bars (Nut Free)

Ingredients:

1 cup Medjool dates, pitted

2 cups rolled oats

½ cup sunflower seeds, raw or dry roasted (unsalted)

½ cup pumpkin seeds, raw or dry roasted (unsalted)

¼ cup hemp hearts

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon cinnamon, ground

Pinch of salt

4 tablespoons water, as needed

¼ cup white chocolate or coconut butter

1 tablespoon chocolate (milk, dark or unsweetened)

Instructions:

1. Add all the ingredients to a food processor, except for the water and chocolate. Process until you get a fine crumb and the dates are chopped small.

2. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time. Process until the mixture sticks together when pressed.

3. Press the mixture to the bottom of a square or rectangular dish. Cut into 6 large or 8 smaller bars.

4. Melt the white chocolate or coconut butter. You can use a double boiler or the microwave for an easy option. Melt 15 seconds at a time to avoid burning.

5. Drizzle the chocolate or coconut butter on top of each bars. If you want a cleaner look, you can add the chocolate to a plastic sandwich bag with a small whole cut into a corner. Squeeze the bag to drizzle the chocolate or coconut butter on the bars. For a messier look, use a spoon to drizzle.

6. Melt the dark or milk chocolate. Dip a toothpick into the chocolate and use it to make the eyes.

7. Place the bars in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer to let the chocolate harden. Enjoy straight from the fridge or freezer.

Prep Time 30 minutes minutes

Servings 6 large/small bars

Notes:

If your chocolate is hard to drizzle, add a small amount of melted coconut oil into the chocolate to help.

This recipe makes 6 large bars or up to 8-9 small bars. The amount of portions will depend on the shape of your dish. Here, I used 2 small dishes that made 3 bars each. Cut them into your desired size.

Have some fun this Halloween this spooky crowd pleaser and enjoy these mummy granola bars!
