How to have a successful Halloween party? Leave a comment

Halloween is coming! It's time to throw a big party and prepare spooky recipes for your friends to welcome them to your haunted house.

Halloween is a Celtic holiday which was like a new year party and lasted at least 7 days.

Today, it is widespread in the world in particular in the United States, in Canada, in New Zealand, in Australia, in Ireland, in Great Britain then in France, in Belgium and in Switzerland.

A popular activity is the candy hunt, also known as “Passage Halloween”, during which children dress up in scary costumes and go door to door with their neighbors asking for candy. Once the door opens, the magic phrase to say is “Farce ou Candise” which means a spell or a candy.

But for adults, the Halloween party translates to a party where everyone turns into evil monsters with cute costumes and scary makeup in one of their friends' haunted houses.

We have selected some scary recipes for you to prepare for Halloween.
