Some people don’t like Halloween and that’s okay. I happen to really like Halloween, but I also struggle with the fact that Halloween falls on any day of the week. I would love to say that I am the type of person that loves to go out and have a great time, but for me, school comes first. Last year on Halloween, I did nothing. I got dressed up, took photos, bought a milkshake and went home to finish a paper due the next day. That was Halloween for me last year.
Some people don’t want to go out on Halloween, but that doesn’t mean that Halloween cant be fun. I like dressing up and so that is what I did. But for some people you can also make fun themed food and drinks that go with Halloween right in your kitchen.
I looked up a couple recipes online and here is what I found:

- Mad Scientist Halloween Drink (non-alcoholic) that is a combination of white chocolate hot chocolate that has been colored green, whipped cream and colorful sprinkles all put in a beaker party cup. https://www.ohmy-creative.com/holiday-crafts/halloween/mad-scientist-halloween-kids-drinks/

- Cobweb brownies which are regular brownies that have been drizzled in melted marshmallow to look like mummy wrapping. https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a49654/cobweb-brownies-recipe/
- Pillsbury Halloween Cookies. Honestly these require nothing more than an oven, but are one of the best things to have around halloween time.
These are just some of the things that you can make if you want to have a night in. But if staying in is not for you, then go out and have fun! Just remember to dress in whatever makes you most comfortable and to be safe!
