|  | From Erik Wander, your About Food Editor Halloween is not an occasion typically associated with cooking. There's no classic holiday menu, and therefore there really aren't any rules or norms to follow. You have the freedom to get creative, so have a safe, happy and tasty Halloween! | | Scary Halloween Candy You have to start with candy, right? And sure, stock up on Snickers, M&M's, Reese's and the like for trick-or-treaters. But if you really want to get into the spirit, try making some of these goodies yourself. | Halloween Recipes for Kids You can make even the most mundane menus into Halloween specials. It takes skill to make things like Spaghetti and meatballs, Jell-O, hot dogs and English muffins memorable, but these ideas demonstrate it can definitely be done. | Guide to Getting By Gluten-Free Not only is it entirely possible, it's not even all that hard to keep your "little gluten-free goblins," as our expert calls them, as holiday happy as any other kid on the block this Halloween. | Three Ways to Toast Pumpkin Seeds | | | | Related Searches | | | | Featured Articles | | | | | | | | Sign up for more free newsletters on your favorite topics | | | | You are receiving this newsletter because you subscribed to the About.com Food newsletter.
