EAT:

Leftover Halloween Candy Recipes ^[4]

You buy 12 bags, you use eight. This leaves you with four leftover bags of Halloween candy to eat every day, one by one. (Who said writers weren’t good at math?) Or, you could turn your candy bars into a super sweet–and somewhat “recycled”–treat with recipes like Butterfinger Banana Cake, Candy Bar Stuffed Baked Apples, Baby Ruth Cookies and more.

GO:

If you’re in full-boar Halloween party mode like me, hopefully you’re attending one of the many parties ^[5] happening around the city tonight, namely at nearly every bar in Seattle. Market Ghost Tours ^[6]also are offering a Paranormal Pub Crawl for $25. Those interested should meet at the pig in The Market between 7 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. The crawl will include stops at The Can-Can, The Alibi Room, Kell’s Irish Pub and Il Bistro and will continue until midnight. $25 at BrownPaperTickets.com ^[7]

Trick or Treat!
