There were some weird times, many years ago, when people became suspicious of home-made Halloween treats. A few pranksters doctored up some treats and ruined things for some - since then I've bought candy to hand out, and that seems to work.

Years ago I used to make sweets for sale. I do not suppose it would be thought of as hyenic to day first boiling up the sugar adding peppermint essence. When the mixture was at the right consistency it was still warm and one threw the cooled mixture over a peg and stretched it until one could cut it into small chunks. It sounds barbaric today but the mints sold. Quickly if possible because they tended to go sticky if left in the open.

How fun! Candy making is a blast. I used to make trays of cookies and candy when the girls were younger. We will be in Nevada on Halloween. My parents set up a full cemetery in their yard. I will have to take photos of it and share them. Enjoy making your sweet treats. 🍬🍭
