Call me a hater, but Halloween is not one of my favorite holidays. Even when I was a child, I was never excited when Halloween came around. It always seemed so dark and meaningless and I just didn’t enjoy it. The candy, however, was the day’s only redeemable quality and I still enjoy the sweet treats that come along on October 31.
I’d like to think my taste in candy has matured over the years, though. And while I do still enjoy the Halloween standards like M&Ms and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups, these days I fall more easily to the temptation of artisan and handmade chocolates. Here are some great options for “grownup” Halloween treats for your trick or treat collection this year:
Dylan’s Candy Bar has a fabulous selection of Halloween-themed treats. The Oreo Gift Set looks particularly delish.
Or what about these Chocolate Valley Apples from Oliver Kita? Nothing says Fall like a candy apple!
Looking for a spooky treat? Check out these adorable Party Ghosts (can ghosts be adorable?!) from Burdick Chocolate.
You can’t get anymore grown up than these Boo! Chocolate Truffles from Coco luxe. You had me at “ganache.”
My favorite purveyor of artisan confections, Rechiutti, has a great 8 piece Halloween Motif box. They are scary good!
