As children, the meals we ate on Halloween were all made up of candy. However, with age comes not only common sense but also less tolerance for an inhumane amount of sugar and responsibility.
Put down the value bag of candy that was meant to be for the trick-or-treaters. Empty it into a bowl and leave it for the children who will soon be relentlessly pressing the doorbell.
Get a glass of water to stay hydrated after realizing several pieces of candy have already been inhaled and pick up a recipe book.
There are plenty of other snacks and meals that can help to make Halloween a delicious and spooky holiday.
Ranging from cute spider cookies to spookier, more advanced Halloween designs, these recipes will help to get anyone in the Halloween spirit. Mothers everywhere will enjoy putting spooky snacks in their children’s lunch boxes with a little note saying something along the lines of “boo, hope the day is going great”.
For those who enjoy spending Halloween night with a group of friends, many of these recipes are easy to make and can be quickly whipped up for plenty to enjoy.
For those who refuse to let Halloween pass without enjoying a decent serving of sugar, there are plenty of spooky desserts to fulfill the desire for candy.
To make these recipes extra spooky, eat as many of them as possible in one day and experience the fear of health issues.
The scariest part of eating real food on Halloween is the realization that adulthood is right around the corner and responsibilities are waiting to take over our lives.
Plus, the candy that survives being digested can be handed out to the children who will soon grow up and make the same mistakes the rest of us did.
