What Are Good Halloween Treats?

Halloween treats are a way of celebrating the holiday and having fun with costumes, candy, and creativity. At Catering by Michaels, we believe a good Halloween treat is fun, tasty, and in the spirit of the holiday. Treats in Halloween-themed shapes or packaging, such as ghosts, bats, or pumpkins, can add to the festive spirit. And seasonal favorites such as taffy apples can help make your Halloween fun!

Work, travel, and busy schedules have probably made it harder for you and your family and friends to stay in touch. Everyone is biding their time, waiting for the holiday season when they can all get together.

Unless it’s a costume, you don’t want your apron hanging from your neck this Halloween. It’s been a busy year and with the holiday season just around the corner, it will only get busier.

Spooky Halloween parties are great reconnecting opportunities. Set up your family and friends for this experience by choosing Catering by Michaels as your holiday event planner. We have fun and creative ideas that will keep up the creepy theme, usher in the holiday spirit, and make the experience uniquely yours.

Let’s see how many of your co-workers can stomach treats designed like snakes, eyeballs, spiders, mummies, and all sorts of monsters!

Your party planning starts with setting the menu. The food items you serve your guests will have a great impact on how the whole experience turns out. Are you going to serve hot or cold foods? Is the food adult-oriented or focused on the children?

Our event and culinary team can help you put together a great menu attending to all tastes at the party. We have various options, such as hot and cold foods, sweet and savory treats, and we can theme your menu according to your guests: adults, children or a mix of both.

Holy Pumpkins Batman, it’s that time of year again, Halloween! The stunning red and orange foliage, apple picking, and chilly weather that require increasingly more cups of your seasonal favorite pumpkin spice lattes, all signal that fall is officially here and so is a favorite holiday for so many.

If Halloween is your favorite holiday, it’s probably safe to assume that you’ll be playing host to your favorite ghosts and ghouls on October 31, or the weekend proceeding it.

If so, here a few Halloween food and drink ideas:

Themed Food Options

Although several Halloween party tables will include dishes made with pumpkin or candied apples, the most fun and creative Halloween dishes adhere to a creepy crawly theme, decorated in the spirit of the holiday.

Think treats designed like mummies, snakes, spiders, eyeballs, monsters, pumpkins or even just a theme of orange and black.

We all know the best Halloween party options are festive, stiff, and just a bit creepy.

It should come as no surprise that fall harvest season is when you can get the best and freshest variety of fruits and vegetables. Some of the most common fruits and vegetables that come into season during the fall include beets, artichokes, pumpkins, pears, and of course… apples!

Hand-in-hand with the change of seasonal produce is a change in weather, and people love to find ways to warm up and seek comfort as the temperature drops. Fall favorite activities include hayrides and corn mazes, but not everyone has time to go out and pick apples in Chicago.

As we tend to find comfort in delicious food, a Catering by Michaels fall favorite is none other than the taffy apple. We use only the freshest apples to ensure the best tasting product over several fall-themed occasions, or to be handed out as gifts to trick or treaters and corporate clients!!
