This post might be too obvious.
But I have no shame.
Halloween is the perfect #strangebutgood holiday. ย What’s more odd than dressing up in costumes and going door to door begging for candy?
In honor of All Hallows Eve, I bring you an appropriately fall-themed recipe collection.

Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Pumpkin, Pumpkin… ROCKIN’ EVERYWHERRRREEE.
Tomorrow I am actually going to make a pumpkin pie recipe. Yep. But with a WHITE pumpkin. Ha! Say what?!
Jen @ Chase the Red Grape says
Good luck with the Tough Mudder! My husband did that last year and although tough (as the name suggests!) he had great fun!
Laura says
It was sooooo fun! It was my second one and this one was definitely better.
Angela @ happy fit mama says
Reese’s is definitely my fav. I mean chocolate and PB? No competition!
Susie @ Suzlyfe says
I’m going to be eating wine pumpkin hummus and laughing at the fact that I live in a highrise so all the candy is for me. I used to love getting heath bar in my bag because you only ever wanted that much of it!
Laura says
Good point on the fun sized candy. It’s just enough to satisfy… and have a variety of. ๐
Megan @ Skinny Fitalicious says
Good luck with the tough mudder! That should be interesting. I don’t really do Halloween. It’s not my favorite holiday.
Heather@hungryforbalance says
Halloween IS such a strange but good holiday! It’s my favorite one! I hope you guys have a great one!
rachel @ athletic avocado says
Thank you so much for sharing my sticky bun fudge!!! I can’t wait to check out the other recipes ๐
Laura says
I can’t wait to try it!!!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine says
Halloween is the ultimate day to eat all the strange but good ๐
lindsay says
woohoo! go tough mudder! bring some dough balls with you. I just like saying balls. xxoo
Laura says
OMG – I wish I’d had balls. They only have jerky and bananas. Which is fine, but not as good as your balls. ๐
Deborah @ Confessions of a Mother Runner says
I think I feel like a pumpkin stuffed dough ball this week! LOL
Alyssa @ renaissancerunnergirl says
So much pumpkin, so little time…except, November is almost here and that’s another month of pumpkin!
Laura says
I know!!!! I think it can legit be stretched to December too.
Nicole @ Fitful Focus says
The perfect strange but good post! I’m making a cheese ball tonight and turning it into a pumpkin! Stay tuned for that one! haha – thanks for including my pop tarts!
Laura says
That’s such a cute idea!!! I love Halloween creations that aren’t sweets. I mean, I love sweets… but I love savory too. ๐
Natalie @ A Fit Philosophy says
Love themed parties, especially Halloween parties! This is a great round-up girl!
Kat says
Mmmm everything looks and sounds amazing!
Good luck on your tough mudder! My little brother did one last year and he had a blast! Its even better if they have zombies chasing you ๐
Becki @ Fighting for Wellness says
These are awesome! My favorite trashy Halloween treat has to be the popcorn balls (with Reese’s pieces) I made for work today.
Laura says
OMG – those are two of my favorite things. That sounds amazing!
Heather @ FITaspire says
I bought a super fun flapper costume, that I haven’t tried on yet but hopefully it will fit. Kirk’s going to be a gangster. ๐
Laura says
You guys looked SO cute!
Kate says
When I was a kid, my favorite was those little box of dots. Until I ate so many they made me constipated (watch out kids). Now my favorite is probably the little hershey sticks or kit kats.
I love this little round up, my husband is always saying my food is strange but good, so now I have more ammo for him!
Laura says
Hahaha – good to know on the Dots. ๐
Meghan@CleanEatsFastFeets says
Apple Pie Poptarts. I must try these.
Debra says
Pinning for next year. Some friends and I went as the Pink Ladies from Grease. When they first told me this is what we were doing this year, I thought, “What? The Pink Ladies from Greece? Are we wearing togas?” Imagine my embarrassment when I realized my punny faux pas.
“
Laura says
Hahaha! That would be funny tough. Pink Ladies, toga-style.
masala girl says

Laura says

Allie says

Abby @ BackAtSquareZero says
