If you are new to Fork and Beans, you have no idea what you are getting yourself into. I love me some Halloween and this is the time where my creativity really comes out.

    Omg these are so Halloween-ish-ly cute! It’s so hard to find “cute” themed vegan foods and often I’m stuck trying to veganize them myself, thanks so much for this recipe!

    Totally! I’ve been pinning Halloween recipes for a few weeks now. Yesterday, it was Halloween costumes, scary hair, DIY fake blood, so fun!

    This recipe is awesome and pinned for sure.

    Somehow when I saw Halloween in the theme preview I knew it would be you! I used a few of your recipes from your e-book for last year’s Halloween party and they were a big hit! I’m excited to see what you come up with this year!

    Hey lady! These look……so dang creative!! When is MOFO? Can’t pull it off, but I’m going to be enjoying all of the action from the sidelines. Happy September lady 🙂 xo

    I just love how you carry out my obsession with Halloween. I’m so boring that I never make anything spooky for Halloween, but I always have visions that I will! So I get to live through my Halloween obsession through you. Happy MoFo!

    Has MOFO started already? No wonder all those recipes just popped up in my feed. You know I never thought I’d say it but I think this determined shoulder injury may just save me from myself this month. No, this is not a cue for pity, overnight delivery is another matter entirely. xoxoxo

      Today is the official Vegan MoFo day missy! Gear up for the wild ride (just make sure that shoulder is taken care of…) xo
