Ingredients
1 pound uncooked pasta (I used elbows)
3 cups water
2 cups Florida milk - I used whole
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 cups your favorite cheeses - I used one cup of each: gouda, pepper jack and cheddar
salt and black pepper, to taste
6-8 orange bell peppers
Preparation
Combine the pasta, water, milk, mustard, and seasonings in a large stockpot.
Heat over medium-high heat, stirring the pasta once every few minutes, until it reaches a boil.
Continue cooking the pasta, stirring once or twice per minute, until the pasta is al dente. (Cooking time will depend on the shape of pasta that you use, so please keep a close eye on it.)
Remove pot from heat.
Remove excess water (if needed). I did not have excess, depending on the type of pasta you used, you may. You do want some left in the pot.
Add the cheese to the pasta and gently stir until completely melted. If the pasta seems too dry, stir some of the reserved liquid back in as needed.
Taste and season with salt and pepper if desired.
Cut the tops off the peppers and reserve. Remove the seeds and membranes. Use a sharp knife to carve a jack-o-lantern face into one side of each pepper.
Fill each pepper with mac n cheese and enjoy!

Ingredients
½ gallon chocolate milk
1 cup chocolate chips
Halloween sprinkles
1/2 tbsp vegetable or canola oil

Preparation
Pour chocolate milk into popsicle molds. Freeze for at least 2 hours or until popsicles are fully frozen.
Melt chocolate using the double boiler method. Use a small pot to boil 1-2 inches or water. Once boiling, lower temperature to medium low and place a glass bowl on top of the pot. Add chocolate chips and oil to boil. Use spatula to mix.
Remove popsicle mold from the freezer and run under warm water for 1 minute to slightly loosen the popsicles making them easier to remove from the molds. Place popsicles on a parchment paper lined baking sheet.
Use a spatula to drizzle chocolate on the top of the popsicles. Immediately top with sprinkles allowing them to adhere to the chocolate before it hardens.
Store the popsicles in the freezer until ready to serve.
