This post is sponsored by Borden Cheese. I’m not a huge full out costume Halloween person, but I still like to celebrate. This year because we’re still doing things on a budget we’ve decided that we’re going to have some friends over for ghoulish fright night of scary movies. All my guest are bringing a fun Halloween-inspired dish, and I wanted to create something that was simple and easy and not a dip. This was when I came up with the idea for Cheesy Brain Braid! I did a trial run with the hubster who is also my in-house taste tester, and…
