A Big Halloween To-Do List
Hey there!
This is Finn Barnett, and I have a really important question for you: What are you going to be for Halloween?
I think I’m going to be the Once-ler frommy favorite book, “The Lorax,” this year. I’ve been trying to talk my sister Harlow into dressing up in matching costumes. Last year I was a vampire, so I tried to get Harlow to be a bat. She dressed up as Moana instead. I realized the trick is to pick a costume she likes, too. Do you think she’ll want to dress up as one of the brown Barbaloots? Then we can both be Dr. Seuss characters!

I’m so excited that it’s finally Halloween! I’ve been talking about this Halloween since last Halloween. This is my very favorite holiday. There’s so much to do! I need to watch the Halloween Mickey Mouse cartoon “The Scariest Story Ever Told” at least a hundred times. We also need to buy Halloween decorations from the spooky store, go on walks to see all the decorations in our neighborhood, and decorate our house to look all scary. This year, we have a small playground in the backyard, and I helped decorate it as a haunted playground!
Ingredients
• 4 Granny Smith apples • 1/2 cup raw pistachios • 1 1/2 tsp plus 1 cup sugar • 3 tbsp sesame seeds • 2 tbsp white miso, divided • 4 Popsicle sticks • 2 tbsp light corn syrup • 1/4 cup heavy cream • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
The best part of Halloween is, of course, trick-or-treating. Harlow and I help our mom and dad pass out candy to trick- or-treaters, then we go out as a whole family! I’ve been teaching Harlow how to trick-or-treat. Mom and Dad take us through the neighborhood, and I walk Harlow up to each door. I remind her to say thank you after we get our candy and to tell the person how much we like their decorations. Once we get home, Harlow and I eat a little bit of candy before Mom and Dad take the rest. That’s okay with me. I don’t go trick-or-treating just for the candy. I go to show off my cool costume and check out everyone’s decorations!
Directions
1. Heat oven to 275 F. 2. In a food processor, pulse pistachios and 1 1/2 tsp sugar. Add sesame seeds and 1 tbsp miso, pulsing until miso is fully broken up. Spread evenly on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 15–20 minutes and let cool. 3. Meanwhile, insert a Popsicle stick into the center of each apple. 4. In a saucepan, bring corn syrup, 1 cup sugar, and 2 tbsp water to a boil. Boil for 5–7 minutes, swirling infrequently, until caramel is a light amber color. 5. Add cream and salt to caramel, whisking to combine. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and quickly whisk in remaining miso. 6. To assemble, first roll apple in caramel, then in pistachio mixture, before resting on greased baking sheet. 7. Let cool 30 minutes and serve.
There’s only a couple more weeks until Halloween. I hope you’re able to get to all your Halloween fun, too! -Finn Barnett
