Halloween is an exciting holiday when you’re a kid. It’s the one night a year you get to be whoever you want to be, whether it’s Spider-Man, Cinderella, Elsa from Frozen—you name it. But even more than dressing up, the excitement comes from the anticipation of one thing: candy.
Every miniature Power Ranger and little cowgirl goes all night thinking about the moment when they will arrive home and unload their treasure trove of sugary snacks. Often, however, their candy collection full of the typical sweets feels more like a trick than a treat. On a holiday that inspires so much creativity, why not have a little fun in the kitchen and create some spooky snacks that will have everyone, young and old, wanting more!
