Cooking in October:
A Halloween Party

Trick or treat? It's ghosts and goblins time again! Spooky, kooky, creepy and fun - October 31 is just around the corner. So grab your kids, head for the kitchen and get ready for the ultimate fantasy day.

Originally a pagan festival of the dead, Irish immigrants brought this holiday to North America in the nineteenth century. A night that's traditionally known for trick-or-treating, costumes, jack-o'-lanterns and haunted houses, Halloween has become one of the most popular party-throwing holidays of the year.

To make your Halloween a howlin' good time, McIlhenny Company has put together a menu featuring its fiery TABASCO® brand Habanero Sauce, that's hotter than the Hinges of Hades.

Begin celebrating with Ghoulish Black Bean Dip, a delicious treat that's perfectly accented with TABASCO® Habanero Sauce. A cinch to make by tossing all the ingredients into a bowl, this dip will scare up any Halloween bash.

Don't have time to stop by your local pumpkin patch? Spicy Cheddar Pumpkin Spread is a lively pumpkin-shaped appetizer sparked with a piquant touch in the form of TABASCO® Habanero Sauce. A festive recipe that's also flavored with cream cheese, cheddar cheese, cumin and salt...it's a perfect addition to this holiday menu.

Paired with light and crispy tortilla chips, Spicy Blood-Sucking Salsa blends tomatoes, red onion, olives, fresh garlic and parsley, lime juice, salt and TABASCO® Habanero Sauce for a fiery treat that adventuresome pepper sauce lovers will enjoy. A small hollowed-out pumpkin can also be used as a serving bowl.

If you're planning a party for neighborhood ghosts and goblins, be sure to serve Monster Munch. Popcorn and peanuts are tossed with a blend of butter, paprika, salt, garlic powder and a teaspoon of TABASCO® Habanero Sauce for a spooky goodie that's quick and easy to make.

On Halloween, witches are flying and cauldrons are bubbling. Hot spiced Witch's Brew is an apple cider drink ignited with a splash of TABASCO® Habanero Sauce that's great for entertaining.

So dress up, carve pumpkins, bob for apples and let McIlhenny Company add a bit of fiery fright to the night with creepy-crawly treats that will make any Halloween party a ghoulish experience!
