Admittedly, I’m not a huge Halloween fan.  I’ve never been into scary movies, dressing up and all of that.  I know, that sounds so boring and practical but it’s just who I am.  My oldest however, loves good “vintage” – yes, I say this sarcastically, because the “vintage” scary movies are from my time (late 70’s – early 80’s).  Ever since 6th grade, we’ve been hosting a scary movie party for her and her girlfriends.  Well it’s expanded quite a bit over the past three years but the same core group of friends still come (and look forward to it each October).  We’ve expanded it this year to include some male friends too (can you hear me sighing loudly?).  Insert my youngest quizzing my oldest if any of the males coming are her boyfriend and annoying the oldest beyond belief.  {Insert arguing here.}  I think we are expecting around 18 teenagers for s’mores outside in our fire pit and the feature movie is Nightmare on Elm Street.  It is always fun and my husband and I do like to throw a few unexpected twists into the night, especially torturing the girls we know will scream the loudest and scare everyone.  So the tradition continues.  Today I bought a ton of movie snacks and whipped up a batch of Ghirardelli white chocolate Halloween bark for the festivities.  Ghirardelli sent me an awesome care package last week and I’m happy to start creating some fun, seasonal recipes with their awesome products, this being my first one.
