Halloween, a season unto itself, garners one heck of a build-up. It encompasses decorations, candy, costumes, food–wait, food? Yessss…now we’re talking! It’s no secret that I’m a fan of anything food-related. Creative food, good-tasting food, fun food, unique food. So, of course, I’d jump into Halloween with one goal in mind – to test out some fun, kid-friendly (or kid-at-heart friendly) ideas!
THE BIG DEAL ABOUT THEMED FOOD
Food, whether fancy and fun or straight forward is effort. Is it worth it? Well, duh! Food isn’t just eaten so that we can stay alive; it can bring enjoyment, create memories, brighten peoples moods, and even show that you care. In the case of Halloween, it’s plain old fun. Fun for the maker and the eater! There are tons of ideas out there that range in complication levels but the most practical rule for DIY holiday fun is ‘simple and cute’.
