Rounding off a 'freaky Friday' we just HAD to announce the arrival of a pair of ghastly, ghoulishly gorgeous goodies from Swolesome Foods... 'Candy Bar Pie' and an exclusive (and slightly EXPLOSIVE) 'Hocus Pocus' Bar!!We've had great fun with Maddie (Swolesome's CEO and chief baker!!) on her seasonal specials over the years...Easter?
