Halloween may look a little different this year, but that doesn’t mean you have to skip out on the treats…or the tricks. If going door to door isn’t safely in the cards, make your own festive fun with our DIY Halloween candies, ranging from the sweet and simple to the downright impressive.
As always, the best way to get consistent and professional-looking results is precision: Use a scale to measure ingredients and grab your handy thermometer to keep an eye on the temperature of your various goodies. No one wants overcooked (burned) caramel or rock hard brittle.
