Recipes For Halloween Appetizers

Samhain/Calan Gaeaf marked the end of the harvest season and beginning of winter or the 'darker half' of the year.[41][42] Like Beltane/Calan Mai, it was seen as a liminal time, when the spirits or fairies (the Aos Sí) could more easily come into our world and were particularly active.[43][44] Most scholars see the Aos Sí as "degraded versions of ancient gods [...] whose power remained active in the people's minds even after they had been officially replaced by later religious beliefs". The Aos Sí were both respected and feared, with individuals often invoking the protection of God when approaching their dwellings.[45][46] At Samhain, it was believed that the Aos Sí needed to be propitiated to ensure that the people and their livestock survived the winter. Offerings of food and drink, or portions of the crops, were left for the Aos Sí.[47][48][49][50] The souls of the dead were also said to revisit their homes.[51] Places were set at the dinner table or by the fire to welcome them.[52] The belief that the souls of the dead return home on one night or day of the year seems to have ancient origins and is found in many cultures throughout the world.[53] In 19th century Ireland, "candles would be lit and prayers formally offered for the souls of the dead. After this the eating, drinking, and games would begin".[54] Throughout the Gaelic and Welsh regions, the household festivities included rituals and games intended to divine one's future, especially regarding death and marriage.[55] Nuts and apples were often used in these divination rituals. Special bonfires were lit and there were rituals involving them. Their flames, smoke and ashes were deemed to have protective and cleansing powers, and were also used for divination.[40][41] It is suggested that the fires were a kind of imitative or sympathetic magic – they mimicked the Sun, helping the "powers of growth" and holding back the decay and darkness of winter.

With Halloween comes creativity, excitement… and sugar. The thought of the highs and lows a kid gets from eating a Halloween candy is quite enough to put the scare in any parent. Halloween candy most of the time can have a scary amount of calories, so Skip traditional calorie-packed snacks and make a few of these slimmed-down desserts instead. Here, we’ve rounded up healthy TREATS FOR A HAPPY, GUILT-FREE HALLOWEEN.
Also, unfortunately, sugar isn’t the only ingredient to worry about when you shop. Consider these ingredints before choosing what to eat—or give away to all of those little goblins and ghosts.

Artificial sweeteners (advantame, aspartame, neotame, saccharin, sucralose and acesulfame potassium).
