With Halloween right around the corner, I’m starting to plan some festivities for my friends and I. We’re opting to stay in, but that doesn’t mean we can’t celebrate by having a spooky movie night with lots of sips and treats! You all know I love my wine, so nothing is more perfect than a night with sweet treats paired with Raven Conspiracy wines!
To pair with Raven Conspiracy’s Deep Dark Red, I made dark chocolate cookies and also picked up some candies from Karameller (their candies have no GMOs, no trans fat, and no high-fructose corn syrup)! With this Deep Dark Red, the darker the better! The deep purple colour is beautiful – the wine is medium dry, a little spicy, and the fruity notes make it perfect with a chocolate cookie or candies.
For the Smooth Bright White, I made pumpkin hummus to pair with it. This white wine has the perfect blend of fruity flavours, making it very easy to drink. This is definitely a crowd pleaser wine that goes well with almost anything!
How To: Super Easy & Tasty Pumpkin Hummus:
Pulse lemon juice, tahini, garlic, and salt together in a food processor or blender until smooth. Add a can of drained chickpeas and olive oil and pulse until smooth. Add pumpkin and cayenne pepper – process until desired consistency.
(Note: You can play around with the proportions of all the ingredients to suit your taste).
I’m so excited to recreate this setup for Halloween! All I have to do is add a dark manicure, a DIY charcoal face mask, plus a few glasses of wine of course and I’m all set! Would you host Halloween night in like this too?
