Spooky Recipes to Make
With Halloween just less than a week away, we know that some of you are already in the spooky spirit! Here are some Halloween recipes to make this week!
Chocolate and Toffee Apples
With Halloween just less than a week away, we know that some of you are already in the spooky spirit! So we wanted to share with you some simple Halloween baking recipes that you can do at home with your Care Professional!
We thought we would start off with a classic, chocolate apples! Probably one of the easiest things you can make, and makes for a lovely tasty (and healthy!) treat. It’s as easy as grabbing an apple, a fork, melting some chocolate, dipping your apples and adding your decoration. For a Halloween theme, use themed sprinkles, or icing to create spiderwebs, eyeballs and other spooky designs!
If your feeling daring, you can even take it further by making toffee apples!
Ways to Use your Pumpkin
