From heart-pounding, edge-of-your-seat walks through dark forests where who knows what lurks, to spooky supernatural events, people who love the horror genre are fans of never knowing what’s going to happen (or pop out from behind a corner) next. If you and your club members are looking for startling flavor while discussing the latest lit on the zombie apocalypse, choose a recipe with a serious kick of spice.
What to Make:
With each mouthful of this spine-chilling white chili, you’ll get a pop of zesty, zingy flavor. Swanson® Organic Free-Range Chicken Broth is the perfect base to carry all the heat that comes from the green chiles and hot jalapeño pepper sauce.

Let yourself be transported to the past — and take the flavors of childhood with you.
There’s nothing more reminiscent of home and the glory days of youth than a steamy bowl of Campbell’s® Condensed Tomato Soup paired with an ooey-gooey, smooth grilled cheese sammy.

of the night. Play your own detective and perhaps host two book club meetings:
one midway through the book to debate everyone’s theories, and one upon finishing so you can talk about who connected the
dots correctly. Put your minds together
and immerse yourself in the unknown.
Why tamale pie, you ask? Because you never know what you’re going to get underneath that layer of crunchy, cheesy cornbread topping. Create your filling with a base of Campbell’s® Condensed Tomato Soup and make every bite a mystery.
