With less than two weeks until Halloween, we are gearing up for some fun – not-so-spooky – festivities here at the Moscato household. It is true – I am SUCH a scaredy cat when it comes to Halloween that I often times sit at home with the lights off just so nothing scares me! I know I know… “that is what makes Halloween fun”… but I can’t help it! I am too chicken! I like the “cuter” side of Halloween – like these adorable Jelly Bean Pumpkins made with Gimbal’s Gourmet Jelly Beans.
