3 Safety Tips for a Great Halloween Night

Halloween is always a lot of fun for kids and adults alike. Kids run around door-to-door, scaring up treats, while adults tag along — or stay at home to hand out candy to all the eager youngsters who probably don’t need this much sugar. But it’s always interesting to see what costumes are trending this year, like Spider-Man and Captain Marvel. Of course, as parents know, Halloween comes with its fair share of risks. The streets are filled with kids who want to score as much sugary loot as possible, and they’re not always paying the closest attention to their surroundings. Here are three ways you can help your kids stay extra safe as they load up on sugar. Have a plan of attack. If you have any ghouls heading out without your supervision (hopefully there is some supervision!), help them pick out neighborhoods they can visit. Keep it close by for younger kids, but give older kids a little more freedom. Google Maps is a great way to map out the evening so you know exactly where your kids will be. In the event you need to swing in for emergency assistance, you know where to go and the kids know where to meet up. Follow the lights. As a rule of thumb, most kids already know to only visit homes with the lights on, even if it’s still light outside. On top of this, trick-or-treaters should avoid poorly lit or dark areas altogether. When it’s difficult to see where you are stepping, you can easily trip and fall, which may result in an injury and an untimely end to the night’s festivities. For anyone in a cumbersome costume or mask with poor visibility, venturing into dark areas can be especially hazardous. And make sure every trick-or-treater has a buddy they can rely on.

INGREDIENTS

• • • • •

4 Granny Smith apples 1/2 cup raw pistachios 1 1/2 tsp plus 1 cup sugar

• • • •

4 Popsicle sticks

2 tbsp light corn syrup 1/4 cup heavy cream

3 tbsp sesame seeds

1/4 tsp kosher salt

2 tbsp white miso, divided

DIRECTIONS

Throw out mystery treats. There is a myth that troubled individuals hide razor blades in Halloween candy. This is not true . Practically all Halloween candy is safe. However, if your kids or grandkids collect any homemade or unwrapped treats, take caution and throw them away. Some people love to make treats to hand out for Halloween, which is admirable, but these treats pose risks for those with food allergies, as you cannot verify the ingredients. They may also spread foodborne illnesses if not properly prepared. Better safe than sorry!

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.
