1. Turn ordinary dishes into spooky delights with activated charcoal.

Activated charcoal is not only a great detox ingredient, but it’s also a fantastic way to bring a touch of dark mystery to your Halloween dishes.

• Eerie Black Pancakes: Turn breakfast into a Halloween event by adding Activated Charcoal to the pancake batter. Serve with a drizzle of William Fox Pumpkin Spice Syrup and some whipped cream for a delightfully creepy start to the day.
• Spooky Pizza Night: Add a dash of Activated Charcoal to homemade pizza dough for a ghostly grey crust. Top with mozzarella for a stark contrast and even create “pumpkin” faces using pepperoni slices. It’s a fun dinner idea for the whole family.

2. Sweeten the scare with William Fox Pumpkin Spice Syrup

Pumpkin spice is the quintessential autumn flavour, and William Fox Pumpkin Spice Syrup makes it easy to infuse this warm, cosy taste into all kinds of Halloween treats.

• Pumpkin Spice Potion: Mix William Fox Pumpkin Spice Syrup with hot apple cider or hot chocolate for a Halloween drink with a seasonal twist. Garnish with cinnamon sticks and serve in mugs for a crowd-pleasing potion.
• Pumpkin Spice Caramel Apples: Drizzle the syrup over caramel apples for an extra layer of flavour. Add a sprinkle of ICAM Milk Chocolate shavings for a rich, indulgent treat.
• Classic Pumpkin Spice Latte: Quick and easy to make, simply stir pumpkin spice syrup in warm milk before pouring over an espresso for the perfect autumn drink.

3. Get creative with ICAM Chocolate

Chocolate is a must-have for Halloween, and ICAM Chocolate is perfect for adding that rich, creamy touch to any dessert or snack. Here’s how to make it extra spooky:

• Chocolate Spider Webs: Melt ICAM Chocolate and use a piping bag to create spider web shapes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Let them set in the fridge and use them as edible decorations for cupcakes, cookies, or even hot chocolate.
• Mummy Chocolate Bars: Melt ICAM Milk Chocolate and dip pretzel sticks or wafer bars into it. Once cooled, pipe thin stripes of white chocolate across to create a mummy look, and use small candy eyes to complete the creepy effect. They make a great Halloween party snack!

4. Pumpkin power with Boiron Frozen Pumpkin Puree

Pumpkin is a Halloween staple, and Boiron Frozen Pumpkin Puree makes it incredibly easy to add this seasonal favourite to both sweet and savoury dishes.
