Chantal records day one of Vlogtober with a Halloween-themed cooking vlog: she demonstrates how to make English muffin "pizza mummies" and "spiders" using Weight Watchers whole wheat English muffins, sun-dried tomato pesto (Classico jar), mozzarella strips, manzanilla olives with pimentos, and sliced black olives for spider legs. She bakes the assembled snacks at 400°F for about 15 minutes, taste-tests two variations, and chats about horror movies, a nightmare she had, and her plans to post daily October videos including walks and fall-themed content. She also mentions enjoying pickled beans alongside the snacks.
