Don’t be afraid to think outside the box when it comes to displaying your snacks. Use props like cauldrons, dry ice, and themed platters to add a theatrical flair that enhances the spooky vibe.

Experiment with Flavors

Mix and match different flavors and spices to give traditional recipes a new twist. A sprinkle of cinnamon or a dash of chili can elevate your snacks and make them even more memorable.
