Candy, Apples and Scares – Oh My!

Unless you’re mistakenly thinking they’re vegetables, pumpkins are the star fruit on show during the spooky season. That doesn’t mean they’re the only ones getting in on the action though – apples have long been used for festivities around this time of year too.

Sure we might not carve them into scary jack-o’-lanterns, but bobbing for apples has always been a go-to group activity for themed parties. Throughout the years – and in true Halloween spirit, these tasty fruits have transformed into far tastier treats for the festive season…

Did you know? Coating apples in caramel dates back to the 1950s – when US Kraft Foods employee, Dan Walker, got creative with some leftover caramels from Halloween. Coating them in other sweet glazes dates back even further – with the very first version of a candied apple being invented all the way back in 1908.

Since then, these delicious treats have grown in popularity, and cemented themselves as a festive staple enjoyed by kids and adults alike. Whether it involves a sticky toffee glaze or a melted chocolate one; nowadays you can enjoy a wide variety of candied apples with plenty of spooktastic decoration, perfect for Halloween!

Baking Something Boo-tiful!

If you’re searching high and low for the perfect Halloween themed treats to have this year, why not make some yourself? Baking is a great weekend activity for the kids, but it’s made all the more fun when you get the chance to be eerily creative with it!

Whether you’re wanting some spooky cupcakes for a party – or a load of horror-themed biscuits for trick-or-treaters, there’s plenty of great ideas out there to help inspire you. After all, it’s not hard to be spooked out by how creative food bloggers can get when ghosts, skeletons, witches – and all manner of otherworldly creatures, enter the kitchen!

Trick-or-Treat, Give Me Sweets!

In the US, candy corn has become synonymous with trick-or-treating and is often the sweet of choice to give away on Halloween night. In the UK however, no such monopolous treat exists. Instead of having one go-to option, most Brits dish out a variety of everyday classics – such as Malteasers, Skittles and Quality Streets.

A lot of brands capitalise on the sugar rush of Halloween by releasing the same old sweets in spookified packets. However, if you’re feeling adventurous – or just wanting to revel in those festive vibes even more, it’s worth looking further afield.

Specialist candy shops like us here at Retro Sweets Now stock a wide variety of spooky goods with differing shapes, flavours and textures to enjoy! If you’re bored of the standard gelatine-based spiders and bats, why not try some giant chocolate frogs, chewy devil heads or gummy, mummy-brains?
