I know you get tired of the same ol' same ol' on holidays like Halloween. You go and buy your bag of candy from a chain grocery store and wait at your house for children to knock on your door. You eat the same old thing every year. This year, shake it up a little bit by adding some local flair to your Halloween treats.
