Forget the spork, now we have whatever you get when you cross a maple leaf with a spoon. Spoople? Mapoon? I don’t know, but you’ll have plenty of time to discuss it over dinner when serving with the Jabihome 4 Wooden Spoons and Forks Set.

Just because the jack o’ lanterns have been all put away (or perhaps more likely, left out until nobody wants to touch it….) doesn’t mean it is time to put away the pumpkins. We still have the Super Bowl of food holidays to go; Thanksgiving! And you’re gonna need a serving platter for all those delicious treats!
This pumpkin-shaped serving tray measures 15″ x 12″ offering up a decent amount of real estate for snacks, charcuterie, or other tasty fall morsels. And next year, you can put the jack o’ lantern on it for easy disposal when it inevitably starts to rot!
I mean Happy Halloween! Here’s a 1973 recipe card for Taffy Apples. And Bob’s your uncle. I mean Happy Apple Bobbing! I mean Affy Tapple… oh, we’re all mixed up over here.
…and yes, I know we don’t use Taffy Apples for Apple Bobbing. But that recipe is boring (Bucket of water, add apples). So here is the back of the recipe card for Taffy Apples:

Did you know SMEG stands for Smalterie Metallurgiche Emiliane Guastalla? Me neither. Of that, “Guastalla” is the name of the town in Italy where the company got its start. “Emiliane” refers to the province and the rest translates to “Metallurgical Enamelling Works.”
The company was founded in 1948 and now combines retro vintage aesthetics across their appliance line and is available to peruse in the SMEG Virtual Showroom. You can click around and zoom in on appliances in a decidedly modern way.

These Halloween Cookie Cutters are Boo-tiful! You’re sure to scare up some delicious delights for young and old with this 9-piece set. You get a few ghosts, a witch hat, a skull, a bat, a cat, a jack-o’-lantern and a coffin.
Made of stainless steel the cookie cutters have a rolled edge on one side to protect your fingers as you press down the smooth side into cookie dough. But why stop there? The metal cutters allow you to shape fruits and vegetables into scary shapes as well. While the kids are arguing over their trick-or-treating candy loot, you can be kicking back with a nice wine and some spooky shaped cheese. Maybe a nice Scare-donay with some Boo-uda or perhaps a Monsterella and Croakers snack tray. Naturally, some Scream Cheese on a Bagel at the Moon would go great.
Okay, maybe that last one was a stretch. In any event, don’t forget the ghost cheese! Happy Halloween!
