This recipe was a HUGE hit at our Halloween party last year! In fact, I made it several times during the year to share with my coworkers, who also loved it. One note -- if you're not a big onion fan, use half the shallots and make half the batch without them. We found the shallots pretty much overpowered all the other flavors, which was a shame.
