Is it too early to start posting Halloween recipes yet? I like to get in early (or am I late, I can’t tell…) with these things. Mostly because ‘Holidays’ are my thing and Halloween is one of my favourites – Christmas clearly comes first but Halloween has always held a special place in my, ever so slightly dark, heart.

VEGAN PUMPKIN MUFFINS

Yes, I am one of those ‘Horror’ loving geeks that leaps at the first chance to dress up like a ghoul, eat spooky inspired food (which generally means green food colouring a go go) and soaking up every bit of Halloweenie (I can’t believe I still haven’t seen Frankenweenie) spirit that is going.

VEGAN CHOCOLATE BAT BISCUITS

So, in honour of this impending pagan festival I give you my three recipes that wouldn’t go amiss at any Halloween/Trick or Treatin’ event.

PUMPKIN BUTTER

Just so you know, I have my costume under complete control. I’m actually quite smug about my idea – which will remain top secret until the night of. Even if I don’t have a party to attend – we thought we did but now we don’t…I am wearing this goddamn outfit and traipsing about the streets with my Husband. I might even knock on a few doors. Probably not a great idea in South East London but in this instance I’m willing to take the risk. BRING IT, HALLOWEEEEEEN!!!!
