With Halloween just around the corner, cookbook author and Food Network star Hannah Hart visits the TODAY kitchen to stir up a few of her spookiest recipes. She shows us how to make garlicky vampire fries, creepy margarita cocktails and mac-and-cheese-stuffed jack-o'-lanterns.

Vampire Garlic Fries

What could be spookier than the threat of a vampire bite on Halloween? These garlic fries will keep your immune system strong ... and they'll chase all the vampires away.

Smoking Spicy Potion

Everybody loves the idea of a bloody mary bar, but what about a margarita bar? Set out a bunch of devilishly delicious ingredients so guests can make their own special potion just the way they like it.

Mac-O'-Lanterns

Let's be real, some kids (and even adults) don't want to eat the pepper part of stuffed peppers anyway. Just make them into fun and festive serving bowls instead.
