Happy Halloween to all the wizards and muggles!
Halloween is a very old festival with its roots in 4th century Celtic culture. Celebrated on 31 October, Halloween, which is a contraction of “All Hallows’ evening”, was originally a religious festival to commemorate Christian martyrs. Fortunately, over the years, Halloween has evolved into a much more fun celebration. Today, the main Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, attending Halloween costume parties, carving pumpkins into skulls, watching horror or Halloween-themed movies...
This year, for an unforgettable Halloween festival, celebrate it with Cinereplicas !
Trick-or-treat
It is traditional for children to go in costume from house to house, asking for treats such as sweets, with the question "Trick or treat ?”. The word "trick" implies a "threat" to do mischief to the owners or their property if no sweets are given. So, if you don't want your house to be trashed, be prepared to greet your visitors with a tasty treat.
At this time of year, you can easily find sweets in any supermarket. But why not have your sweets made by yourself this year? With our moulds (Chocolate Frog, Gringotts Coin Mould, Chocolate Icicle Mould) and a little chocolate, it's easy. Shape your favorite characters or symbols into a delicious little chocolate ready to be given away. And to give it a Halloween twist, why not sprinkle a little cinnamon for flavour or add a bit of orange dye for colour!
