When I attended the Taste of Home Cooking School Show, Culinary Specialist, Guy Klinzing shared a holiday appetizer wreath recipe with us. You can click on the link to view the original recipe. My friend Christine suggested I make a Halloween wreath for my friend Anne’s Halloween party and that’s how this recipe came to be. The original recipe is for a Christmas wreath. I gave it my own spin and changed a few of the ingredients. The premise is the same, but the ingredients I’ve listed are my own version. I added a few Halloween trinkets from past goodie bags and placed a few spiders on the plate to jazz it up a bit. A simple bow made from Halloween ribbon made it complete. Sometimes, it just takes a simple suggestion to get the creative juices flowing.
I’ll be sharing some pictures from my friend’s Salem Witch Trial themed Halloween party this week. In case you missed it, last week I shared my friend Mary’s Spooky Halloween Party Decor. It’s nice having friends who like to throw parties.
