When we moved into our house almost four years ago, we wanted to start a tradition for all the kids in the neighborhood. Halloween seemed like the best way and each year it has evolved into something a little bit more. Whether it’s carving, painting, or putting stickers on pumpkins, the kids always have a great time and each year I try to improve the food selection.

I always make a classic crockpot chili and toppings and love to add in fun and festive appetizers and treats.
