While I know no one is ever actually scared by spooky Halloween treats, I do know for a fact that many people are terrified to work with meringue. Hopefully these bones and ghosts will help chase those demons away.

Meatloaf Patties
Delicious, kid-approved mini-meatloaf patties!
Betty's Famous Eggnog
My Mom has been making this creamy eggnog for everyone for at least 25 years, and more people ask for it each year. It uses three types of liquor--you do not need the best brands, but do not buy the cheapest either. Note that raw eggs are 'cooked' by the alcohol. Once made, keep the eggnog refrigerated and use within a week, stirring gently before serving to re-incorporate the egg whites that rise to the surface.
Cafe de Olla
Cafe de olla is the way coffee is made in Mexico. It translates into "pot of coffee." It's sweetened with piloncillo, which is similar to dark brown sugar and found in Hispanic markets, and spiced with a cinnamon stick to warm you up.
