First, today is National Chocolate Day! Happy best day ever to all the chocoholics out there. Second, Halloween is Monday and you are trying to come up with ways to celebrate both the love for chocolate and Halloween, this week’s post is for you.

Make Halloween Delicious And Joyful With These 3 Creative Ideas…

1. Cheers To Chocolate Chaud: What is a better way to bring the love of chocolate, Halloween, and fall together than whisking up a warm and sweet cup of comforting hot chocolate? Molly J. Wilk Pastry has a perfect, yet simple recipe for Chocolat Chaud which makes a great way to sip away two delightful holidays.

2. Hey, Halloween Hot Dog!: This one is more trick than a treat but this recipe for Halloween Finger Hot Dogs is a delicious, joyful, and gross way to celebrate Halloween. Pair this devious dinner with a Chocolate Charcuterie Board which is easy with these instructions from Taste Of Home.

3. Devil’s Food Delight: If you are a cake lover and creating the perfect chocolate cake recipe is always a challenge, Alton Brown’s Devil’s Food Cake is the best! It’s moist, delicious, and brimming with chocolate. Make a few white chocolate ghosts and feel the Halloween chocolate joy that abounds from the sweet creative fun!
