15 Slow-Cooker Chicken Recipes Perfect for Dinner Tonight + Lunch Tomorrow

Spooki-licious Halloween Recipes

Mummy Pizzas

Trick your kids into eating their veggies by turning zucchini ribbons into tasty mummy bandages atop French bread pizzas. Take advantage of the Halloween holiday to get extra playful and silly with your food. To start this dish, grab ciabatta rolls or similar rectangular rolls, sun-dried tomato pesto or pizza sauce, grated mozzarella cheese, small zucchinis, and black olives. Halve the bread rolls, add your sauce of choice, sprinkle with cheese and use a vegetable peeler to cut the zucchini into thin ribbons that can be haphazardly placed on the roll at different angles. Use the sliced olives for eyes, and bake for about 20 minutes at 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Then you can mummy out! (via Brit + Co)

Ghoulish Red Velvet Cake

Bloody bones, crumbled red velvet, lots of sugar — this dessert is everything a Halloween treat should be. You'll need a few hours to make the cake, frosting and bones from scratch in the DIY masterpiece. Check your pantry and refrigerator for butter, sugar, eggs, flour, cocoa powder, buttermilk, vanilla extract, white vinegar, baking soda and cake release spray for the cake; egg whites, sugar and cream of tartar for the bones; and mascarpone, icing sugar, heavy cream and blackberry syrup for the for the frosting. As far as supplies goes, it'll also be helpful to have a mixer, piping bags, cake stand, a few mixing bowls and a measuring jug. (via Brit + Co)

Mummy Meatballs

These meatballs take on the flavors of your favorite pasta dish. The eyeballs, crafted from ricotta cheese and black olive bits, add in the spooky factor! (via Brit + Co)

Spooky Halloween Popsicles

Autumn weather is notoriously unpredictable. Make a batch of spooky frozen pops in case you find yourself sweating through your monster mask. Your ingredient list for these includes a bar of dark chocolate, heavy whipping cream, a can of coconut milk, condensed milk, a pack of candy googly eyes, and popsicle molds. Also, be sure to set aside about four hours to complete this Halloween party food idea. (via Brit + Co)

Bug Tuxedo Cake

This bug-covered cake is gorgeous, but it will absolutely creep out your friends and loved ones. We imagine this is what they served when Beetlejuice tried to marry Lydia. For this Halloween menu item, grab a chocolate cake mix, white chocolate, butter, powdered sugar, cream, and vanilla. This recipe will yield a four layer cake with thick frosting and thick chocolate ganache poured over the top. Mm, yum! (via Brit + Co)

Spider Halloween Cookies

These creepy crawlies actually carry everything that's great about dessert – peanut butter and chocolate! They're easy to make after you bake the cookie base. Simply press a PB cup into the dough and decorate accordingly. (via Brit + Co)

Raw Avocado Zombie Bars

Unlike zombies, vegans don't eat brains, or any other food that comes from an animal for that matter. Instead, serve them up some raw, vegan avocado zombie bars for a healthy treat. You'll get about 16 servings with this recipe, which requires Medjool dates, raw almonds, cocoa powder, coconut oil, avocados, agave nectar, coconut oil, a blender or food processor and an 8x8 inch brownie pan. (via Brit + Co)

Petri Dish Jello Shots

Usually we avoid putting germs in our body, but these Jell-O shot petri dishes look so good, we just can't resist having one for dessert. Oh, and they're make-ahead, leaving you more time to work on your costume. (via Brit + Co)

These bones are anything but dry in this spooky cocktail! Spike your punch bowl with bones made from Jell-O shot ingredients, including whipped cream vodka. (via Brit + Co)

Halloween Avocado Toast

White Chocolate Strawberry Lab Mice

October 31 is the only time of year when seeing mice in the kitchen is actually a good thing. After all, they're made from strawberries and white chocolate! This make-ahead treat is easy to put together and ideal for a mad scientist themed spooky party.

For this Halloween recipe, all you need are strawberries, white chocolate melting wafers, and red food coloring. Set a few of the wafers aside to be used as mouse ears, and melt the rest in the microwave-safe dish for about 30 seconds. Then dip your strawberries into the melty chocolate and place on a flat plate or surface to help them keep their shape. As the chocolate starts to set, place two wafer on top of each strawberry for the ears. To achieve the spooky red eyes, mix red food dye into the remaining melted chocolate and use a fork or toothpick to pick up the color and complete the look.

Black Martinis

Despite its witchy vibes, this cocktail is sweeter than it seems. It gets its dark color from blackberries, Chambord, and a drop of food coloring. We imagine this something that someone from the Netherworld in Beetlejuice 2 would drink while creating their own brand of chaos. (via Brit + Co)

Monster Eye-Scream Cookies

If you like cute more than creepy, these adorable ice cream cookies have your name written all over them. Grab your favorite sugar cookie recipe, royal icing in a variety of colors, and fondant for homemade candy eyes if you can't find the store-bought kind.

You can DIY candy eyes by rolling out fondant and using straws to cut out uniform small circles. Once the fondant dries, you can add on black dots with an edible market to finish the eyes and set aside. Then, before you bake your cookie dough of choice, use cookie cutters to create fun and cute shapes in the dough like hearts, triangles, stars, and more.

Think about the colors you want to use for your designs (we opted for a pastel palette with pink, yellow, peach, and blue), and dye the royal icing as needed to match your desired hues. Then get to work on decorating your cute scary monster cookies! (via Brit + Co)

Name a more iconic duo than witch finger cookies and red velvet hot chocolate — we'll wait. This Halloween recipe uses a buttery shortbread dough for knobby fingers, blanched almonds for fingernails, cinnamon for dirt and red food coloring to get the gory bleeding look. The coolest and creepiest part of this dish is the red velvet hot chocolate dipping sauce that looks like a goblet of blood.

Some quick tips: Once your cookie dough is ready to go, you'll want to measure out 1/2 tablespoon quantities of the dough, roll them into a ball, and then into a log shape. Be sure to make them quite thin as they were spread in the oven while baking. For the knuckle indentations, use a knife to make the ridges. (via Domestic Gothess)

@cali_spann1 this is very shocking for me chat #tsitp♬ american wedding - yen

Lola Tung and Gavin Casalegno (Jeremiah Fisher) were seen filming in front of Notre Dame. Belly's wearing a white tank and jeans, and carrying a suitcase and backpack, while Jeremiah's wearing jeans and a brown jacket. Book fans will remember that in We'll Always Have Summer, Belly and Jeremiah get engaged but call off the wedding at the last second when Jeremiah realizes Belly will always be in love with Conrad.

In college, Belly spends a few weeks in Spain, and strikes up a pen pal relationship with Conrad. Us Conrad girlies have known they were endgame since the very beginning, which is why this set leak is totally unexpected. It looks like Prime Video changed the location of Belly's travels from Spain to Paris, and I'm wondering if Jeremiah is trying to rekindle their relationship. (Unless they just run into each other like Blair and Chuck did in Gossip Girl).

The reunion in this clip ends in a hug, and fans in the comments are torn on whether it'll be a friendly hug or a romantic hug. Although, after two seasons of Jeremiah falling more and more in love with Belly, I'm not sure it's possible for him not to have romantic feelings toward her. At least, not for awhile.

@cali_spann1 giving the ppl what they want #tsitp#paris#tsitpseason3#bonrad♬ 1979 - ☆

All in all, The Summer I Turned Pretty fans have lost their minds over the new scene — especially considering Belly's time in Europe is merely mentioned in the books. Now it looks like we'll get to actually see what goes down! One TikTok comment also hints we'll see Conrad and Belly reunite in a hotel. Other TikTok users are losing it over how big Belly's backpack is, but I can promise you that when you travel around Europe, you want a backpack that huge!

All in all, I'm just hoping we see Belly explore and gain some life experience. "I for one would love several episodes of Belly's time in Spain [or Paris] maybe using it as way for her to get some space and perspective and finding herself along the way," one Reddit user says.

She'll definitely get to try out her French, and see tons of sites she's only read about before. Growing up in a small town and seeing the same group of people every year is so special, but exploring somewhere totally new is also invaluable. I want to see Belly fall in love with the view of Sacré-Cœur at sunrise. I want to see her try French food she hates in one bite, and then a pastry she can't live without in the next. Europe is the perfect place to fall in love with life — and it'll make Belly appreciate Cousins Beach even more.
