Anyone have anything they traditionally prepare for Halloween?

Any ideas, recipes, stories, etc?

Spooky Soup and Bat Wings ( chicken noodle soup and buffalo wings).

My wife did bat wing chicken wings one year. Dyed barbecue sauce pretty much black and coated the wings in it. The black wings were so visually unappealing, I couldn’t eat them. It just wasn’t right seeing them black.

I bake homemade bread and make homemade tomato soup.

Perfect for the usually chilly weather of trick or treat.

But it's gonna be almost 70 up here tomorrow.

I used to buy Halloween candy on November 1 for the discount. Now it isn't even that good a deal on clearance.

Always chili dogs with all the trimmings and either a baked potato bar or Frito pie bar option. A particular bean dip with sour cream spider web piped on top. Then I always try whatever is cute on Pinterest -- bloody eyeball deviled eggs, vampire bite cupcakes, witch finger cookies, graveyard cake, etc.

Every year my dad makes “rodeo dogs”
Just cheap hotdogs boiled in water, then placed on a bun, squirt of mustard, cheese, then chili, and topped off with onions. He makes each one then wraps it in foil and places them all in a styrofoam ice chest.
Best chili dog you’ll ever eat.

It’s important to put the cheese before the chili. Otherwise the cheese would come right off when you unwrap it from the foil.

I steal candy from my kids and eat it. That’s my Halloween food tradition.

My mom always made them when I was growing up
No kids but recently moved to a new neighborhood where we can hand out candy & I started the tradition back up

Beef vegetable soup. Various family and friends rotate through and eat/drink.

A friend of ours texted my wife yesterday to confirm she was doing soup again this year

I always head to Hooters for a long dinner and beers

The waitresses usually have on costumes that make it even better

In years where it is cold, we do hot apple cider on the stove and a pumpkin bread, banana nut bread, or something similar for a snack. Won't be doing that this year, unfortunately.

Had a small friend party on Tuesday and made:

Pumpkin soup - a great John Besh recipe
Pastalaya - big pot of worms
Smoked ribs and sausage - bones and such
Deviled eggs - eyes…and deviled?

But on a cool Halloween night, a nice bowl of chili hits the spot.

Peanut farm close to my house shuts down soon after Halloween due to weather. My neighborhood has a Halloween party every year, so I get a few bags of peanuts and boil the weekend before the party. Kids love them, and I bring gallon ziplocks for neighbors to take the leftovers home.

We also eat hotdogs and I don't know why. My kids are getting older and want to go off with friends instead of mom and dad, I'll probably switch to ribeyes.
