    33 Utterly Bewitching Halloween Recipes

    Halloween is celebrated in much of the Western world on the October 31. Today’s Halloween themes tend to be spooky or scary involving death, black magic, and mythical characters such as ghosts, witches, goblins, and zombies. The American tradition of “trick-or-treating” probably dates back to the early All Souls’ Day parades in England, where beggars were given pastries called “soul cakes” in return for their promise to pray for dead relatives. On Halloween, it was believed that ghosts came back to the Earthly world. Because people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes, they wore masks when they left their homes after dark so that the ghosts would mistake them for fellow spirits. On Halloween, to keep ghosts away from their houses, people would place bowls of food outside their homes to appease the ghosts and prevent them from attempting to enter.
