During the season of festivals that begin shortly after Labor Day, an endless amount of preparation takes place even before the summer months conclude.  Indeed, the fun and excitement cannot be complete without refreshments that accompany the festivities.  Billy Taylor offers a little help in that department when it comes to providing the spirits and sweets at a Halloween celebration.  With his collection of holiday recipes Horribly Good Halloween, Recipes with Coffee, party revelers will most likely indulge in the thirst quenching and sugary delights.The book runs the gamut from cake, candy, and coffee creations that many may be familiar with during the autumn months but with a slight difference.  Of course candied apples are a favorite snack, but has anyone tried the Fly Paper Candied Apples or White Chocolate and Mocha Caramel Apples? But aside from the regular fair of traditional desserts, Taylor's recipes have a bit of a kick, Shrek's Pumpkin Roll with Orange, Toe Jam Pumpkin Cheesecake that contains cheesecake and coffee cake or Totally Zombied Latte that has a mix of peppermint and pumpkin spice, the Cursed Irish Barmbrack, or Wobbly Witch's Coffee need no introduction to the spellbinding ingredients hence the names of each drink.But after reading the various recipes in Horribly Good Halloween, each or all of the selections may become a tradition during the haunting time of the year.
