Halloween is one of the most fun holidays. I love that there is no expectation of gifts or big gatherings, it’s just a fun time for all.
If you want to stretch a holiday into maximum fun for your kids, and easy way to do that is with themed food.
And sure, Halloween food is an easy slide towards candy 24/7.
