We love Halloween around here! The costumes, the decor and of course the chocolate, what’s not to love about this fun time of year. From sprinkles to paper straws and even eyeballs, there are lots of in-expensive things on the market to get you in the Halloween spirit. Here are some easy things to get ready for Halloween.

Halloween Rice Krispie Treats
Rice Krispie Squares is a classic treat and super easy to make. Follow the directions on the box and take it to another level for Halloween. Drizzle melted chocolate on the prepared squares and then throw on some sprinkles, candy corn, eyeballs, pumpkins, pretzels….anything really.

Marshamallow Pops
I love patterned paper straws and there are so many orange and black options available. Just stick one into a marshmallow, dip in melted chocolate and then dip into a dish of sprinkles. These are always a hit and can be prepared in minutes.

Halloween is one of my favourites and I can’t believe it’s in 5 short
days! I can’t decide what my favourite part is – dressing up (how cute
are all the kids!), decorating the front lawn, having a party, trick or
treating (the only time when begging for candy is totally acceptable).
Who am I kidding, it’s about the chocolate!

I’m so happy to share that one of my favourite chocolate places has a
lot of great chocolate choices for Halloween. Cococo Chocolatiers, owners of Chocolaterie Bernard Callebaut® sent me a few of
their Halloween offerings to sample. All unique chocolates crafted by Cococo use the finest natural ingredients and blends and are free of preservatives. For Halloween, they are offering:

Chocolate witches starting at $21
Chocolate wafers, a box of 30 for $15
Chocolate skulls, a box of 7 for $16.50
Pumpkin Lollipops, 6 for $10.50
Chocolate bars, $3.95 each

I think the lollipops are perfect for handing out at school. The skulls
make a Halloween table even more delicious and festive. The wrapped
chocolates are perfect for handing out to guests or for those special
neighbours that come knocking at the door. I might take all the candy that Q collects and trade him for the chocolate witch – natural, handmade goodies just seem like a way better option than all the candy he will likely collect.

You have a few days to make a run for it and pick these up by Halloween. You can also enter to win! Cococo Chocolatiers is offering a gift basket valued at around $100 for those in Calgary. The gift basket
includes all the Halloween chocolates mentioned above, including some
chocolate covered pretzels and a solid chocolate owl. Contest closes on November 1st so you won’t get them in time for Halloween but trust me, you will enjoy every bite!

Just leave a comment about how you celebrate Halloween. You can even unlock more entries via Facebook and Twitter. Good luck!
