When we love something, we really love it. Like, Dane-Cook-impersonating-Celine-Dion lurve it. And since our cake and cookie truffles remain some of our most popular posts OF ALL TIME, we decided this year needed its own spin on the treat. Meet the pumpkin cake truffle. It’s a five-ingredient dessert that uses the same pumpkin puree […]

#Halloween13: Arrow Costume Ideas
Superheroes have never been hotter on TV. Case in point? The Flash, Gotham, Constantine, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. But the real gem among these? Arrow. Beyond Stephen Amell’s Ninja Warrior-like training skills, the show surprised everyone with its gritty take on what could be one cheesy, cheesy character. Plus, it’s virtually Spandex-free, so you can look […]
#Halloween: Iggy Azalea/Clueless Costumes
If you didn’t spend half of summer drumming your fingers on your steering wheel, warbling “I’m so faaaancy” slightly off-key, you clearly didn’t spend a second within arm’s length of me, because I blasted that song pretty much every chance I got. And then, when I saw the Clueless-themed music video, I lost it. One […]
#Halloween13: Pepperjack Cheese Dip with Oven-Baked Fries (Day 8)
When it comes to hosting a party, snacks are every bit as important as music, and Halloween is no different. I’m all for having a full dip bar, so you have plenty of options to choose from. In addition to the classics — French Onion, Ranch, salsa — and last year’s pick (Spooky Spicy Black […]
#Halloween13: “Shake It Off” Taylor Swift Costumes
Katy Perry used to be the reigning queen of #Halloween13, but last year, a new pop star to emulate emerged: Taylor Swift. The country-turned-pop singer has been our most popular costume to date, so this year, we HAD to create a few new looks in honor of 1989. Here are two Taylor Swift costume ideas from “Shake […]
#Halloween13: Bob’s Burgers Costumes (Day 6)
Oh, Bob’s Burgers. You had us with your pun-erific Burger of the Week signs. Then cemented it with Linda’s “Porcelain Babies” song. If you want to be comfortable — and not invest too much in your wares — we’ve found your ideal costume. Plus, it gives you an awesome excuse to rock a fake mustache […]
#Halloween13: House of Cards Costume Ideas (Day 5)
When it comes to Halloween costumes, there is none creepier than Frank Underwood. Except for maybe his wife, Claire Underwood. Okay, it’s a tie. Kevin Spacey and Robin Wright are delightfully horrifying as the Congressional power couple. Any old suit and fitted shift dress would work, but to really nail the look, focus on the […]
#Halloween13: Frozen Costume Ideas (Day 4)
Do you wanna build a snowman? Sorry, that one line will probably be lodged in your head for the rest of the day. And for good reason: Frozen pretty much took over the radio, TV and internet this past year. Even if you make it a point not to watch kids’ movies, you’ve probably heard […]
#Halloween13: 6-Ingredient Pumpkin Muffins with Streusel Topping (Day 3)
There are few things cuter than a micro muffin topped with streusel. It’s like a toddler dressing up in his parents’ closet. Like, “aw, you think you’re all grown up!” Cue mushy talk and squeals. That’s basically the reaction I had when I pulled these treats out of the oven. I wanted to test out […]
#Halloween13: Robin Williams Costume Ideas (Day 2)
We almost didn’t write this post. We didn’t want to, because we didn’t want it to be misinterpreted. Halloween costumes based on a deceased celebrity can really go one of two ways: a lighthearted tribute to a favorite star or, more often than not, a tasteless joke on who the person died. And we’re […]
