Check out all the gorgeous details below as told by Kate.

I have to say, these bread sticks look a little realistic... But I can also assure you they taste absolutely scrumptious, and totally helped to make the Halloween Chili Buffet a hit! So much so in fact, that when I asked my daughter "What would you like to do for Halloween this year? " (meaning costume...), she replied without a moment's hesitation - "Witch Bread Fingers!" :)
My husband makes the best chili I've ever tasted. So much so in fact, that I never order it in restaurants for the fear it won't be on par! :) So when styling my Halloween Chili Buffet , the natural choice was to cook his chili recipe, and today I'm sharing it with you. It's simple, unctuous and tastes awesome. And you can make it ahead of the party! ;)
A Halloween Chilling Chili Party Buffet
A bubbling cauldron of hot chili accompanied by the usual sides provides the perfect Halloween food buffet for hungry little ghouls - It’s also a very relaxed, warming way to entertain and feed a crowd before Trick or Treat! We love it so much in our house, that we've now made a tradition of having a chili buffet every Halloween! :) Here are some easy ideas on how to style a fun and spooky-licious Halloween Chili Buffet that I designed and styled for the fall Edition of Yum Food and Fun for Kids Magazine!
Black and White Halloween Party Ideas
Have you ever been tempted to go monochrome for Halloween? I did last year , and totally loved it! Monochrome is sleek, is chic and is one of the Fall color trends for 2013. What's not to love?! I think this palette is really easy to pull together (think mummies, spiders, bats, crows...) and really helps to add an air of grown-up sophistication to Halloween festivities. Check out some inspiring ideas I've been pinning:

Halloween is not just about 'orange'. And this week we have some pretty spook-tacular color schemes that look just as eerie and super fun!! The palette of green and black just screams " Frankenstein " to me, and here are some pretty fabulous finds I've been pinning, to help inspire a green-hued monster of a bash ! ;)
Pink and Black Halloween Party Ideas

The fact Halloween also falls in the Pink October month, makes pink the ideal color for this spooky holiday! So if you fancy a little something girly, glam and totally pinkalicious this Halloween, here are some of our fave ideas we've been pinning.
DIY Fall Leaf Fondant Cupcake Toppers
If you would have seen my (Tess) face yesterday as we drove out of the city and into the country for the afternoon, you would have thought the barrister slipped in a little something extra into my London Fog. On our way out the the pumpkin farm, the high-rises of our neighborhood were quickly replaced with row after row of golden-leafed trees. Maybe it's because I've lived in the city for a while now, but I had no idea I could ever be so excited about fall foliage. The beautiful colors of fall were captured in these Fall Leaf Mini Cakes .
