Halloween is not celebrated in all countries and regions of the world. In some countries of the world Christian attitudes are quite diverse towards Halloween. However in many countries around the world it is celebrated in many traditional ways.
Halloween parties, games such as apple bobbing, trick or treating, or haunted attractions and telling of ghost stories are done at this time of the month of October. In Ireland the baking of a barmbrack (light fruitcake) into which coins or other charms were placed in it before baking and if you found a ring then you would find your true love in the ensuing year. Trick or treating resembles the late medieval practice of souling, when the poor folk went door to door begging for food.
I have gathered a list of halloween treats that are relatively common.
Barbrack(Ireland) and bonfire toffee (Great Britain), candy apples (United Kingdom and Ireland) ,caramel corn, colcannon (Ireland) , Novelty candy, Pumpkin pie and breads, Roasted pumpkin seeds, candy corn,
roasted sweet corn and soul cakes.
Happy Halloween !
