Juno's Pregnant Dates (Bacon-Wrapped Dates)

Fall blew in hard this weekend, with a flutter of leaves and a gale of snow, in some places. Halloween is here too, that spooky night of mystery and play — are you throwing a party? Perhaps you're not in full party form, but you want a little treat or snack to see you through the night of the Great Pumpkin. Well, we have 15 simple treats for you today, hand-picked for autumn.
