Given that it's November 8th, it's probably too late to post this Garlicky Ghost Pizza.  However, it made for such a cute (and tasty!) dinner that I just couldn't resist.

Purple People Eater Cupcakes

"It was a one-eyed, one-horned flyin' purple people eater..."

Purple People Eater Cupcakes have a classic chocolate cupcake topped with a coconut oil frosting that resembles monster fur.  Decorate these sweets with an edible eye, a candy corn horn, and a pair of wings.  Just like Sheb Wooley's 1950s hit song, these little treats are more cute than they are creepy!   

Candy Corn Granola Squares

For years and years, I feared candy making.  Every time I found a candy recipe that I wanted to try, the instructions would be filled with unfamiliar and intimidating candy-making terminology: hard crack, soft crack, hard ball (with Chris Matthews?), firm ball, soft ball (that's a sport, right?).  For years and years, I also didn't own a candy thermometer.  Whenever I tried a candy recipe, I'd be forced to "guess" whether my candy had reached the right temperature.  As I'm sure you can imagine, I've made some pretty terrible candy.
