Halloween is coming! I’m about to get my Halloween decorations down, the weather is turning cooler, and I couldn’t be more ready for the Fall. The world might be more crazy than ever, but I’m going to enjoy my favorite holiday this year, one way or another. Now… usually around this time of year I’m coming ip with all recipes pumpkin and Halloween inspired. This year? No different!

These Black Burger Buns are fairly easy to make with a bread machine. And their dark color makes them PERFECT for a Halloween inspired burger. I made ‘werewolf’ burgers in that they were mostly just neat colors that made me think of werewolves; black, purples, deep reds, etc.

These buns taste no different than any other burger bun. The only thing that makes them different is the coloring! I used a black liquid food colorant and then topped them off with black and white sesame seeds. But, you could go with just black or just white if you have any preference over either.

Although my daughter was skeptical at first, she did enjoy her black bun and even asked for a second just to eat on it’s own after she finished her burger.
