VEGAN & GRAIN-FREE PUMPKIN PIE CUPS Recipes

There have been Halloween monsters and Halloween movie tie-ins and plenty of pumpkin things to pick from. But it’s here, it’s here, it’s finally Halloween! The pumpkin-est day of the whole month, the whole season woohoo! (Actually National Pumpkin Day was last week apparently, but I think that’s a lie. October 31st still wins in my book.) All the spooky stuff has been leading up to this. So what to post…?

Ghost cookies? I somehow misplaced my ghost cookie cutter, could only find the bat one.

Caramel apples? Been there, done that, (really need to update those photos…truly frightening?).

Candy? I think this day has enough of that already.

An edible 3 story haunted house made entirely of cookies and candies complete with operable doors, illuminated windows, and marshmallow ghost residents? So predictable.

No, I was thinking something more sophisticated…
