Wiggly Pumpkins
Pumpkin-shaped cookie cutters form these festive finger snacks from Wall, South Dakota field editor Frances Poste. "My grandkids love them!" she reports.

Bat Wing Soup
Convenient stewed tomatoes are the base for this spooky soup that gets extra richness from cream added minutes before serving. It’s nicely flavored with garlic (to keep those vampires away!) and garnished with toasty bat wings. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Black Cat Cupcakes
If a black cat crosses your path, we hope it’s one of these cute chocolaty creations. This time-saving recipe relies on a boxed cake mix and a can of prepared frosting jazzed up with simple cookie and candy decorations. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen

Great Pumpkin Sandwiches
Visited by the Great Pumpkin? Your guests might think so when you serve this puffy layered tortilla sandwich fresh from the oven. It’s seasoned with onion and garlic and loaded with melted cheddar cheese. A celery stick with leaves still attached makes it look like it was just picked from the pumpkin patch. —Taste of Home Test Kitchen
