Halloween is an American tradition that is celebrated every year on October 31st. Over the past decade, the Halloween tradition has spread beyond the USA, and many other countries have embraced the tradition of carving pumpkin lanterns and dressing up in scary costumes to go "trick or treating."
During Halloween, more and more people are focusing on decorating entire neighborhoods with all kinds of spooky elements. In some smaller towns, special Halloween committees are formed, and large Halloween parties are held for the entire week.
If you're doing Halloween activities with your children, you can surprise them with some extra spooky, homemade Halloween treats.
Here are a few examples:
- Cookies shaped like fingers with almonds as nails.
- Small meringue ghosts in various pale colors with eyes made of melted chocolate.
- Plastic gloves filled with popcorn.
- Small bags of almonds or other nuts roasted in cocoa or chili.
- Small oranges with a small green celery stalk on top to make them look like little pumpkins.
- Bananas with chocolate dots for eyes.
- Spiders made of oat balls with candy strings as legs and small marshmallows and melted chocolate as eyes.
For adult snacks, and if you want to save on calories, you can create the same "cut-off finger" snacks by cutting a Nupo One Meal bar into pieces and placing an almond at the end.

Remember to wrap the small treats in paper or place them in small bags or paper cones. You can use regular sandwich paper or candy wrappers.
If you want to tease your children, you can dip Brussels sprouts or other vegetables in chocolate. It’s quick and easy, and most children aren’t particularly fond of Brussels sprouts. Of course, it might backfire if you serve it to your children’s friends — they might not come back next year for "trick or treating."
