Trick or Treat? 5 American recipes for Halloween
Or "trick or treat", as they say overseas. Halloween, the scary American holiday, has also become a tradition with us. Every year we wait for the evening of October 31 to celebrate the most macabre night of autumn.

Here, then, are some sweets made in the USA to be prepared to celebrate Halloween in an original way and that will certainly be able to snatch a smile from young and old.
