Trick or treat: Get into the spooky spirit with these Halloween munchies and DIY kits
“Trick or treat? Give me something good to eat…”
Halloween used to be a festive celebration in different parts of the metro, where kids would go trick or treating while the grown-ups would have the time of their lives at parties. Things have toned down a little since the COVID-19 pandemic started, but that doesn’t mean we can no longer make it one of the spookiest and most vibrant events of the year.
From burgers to chocolate piñatas, here are some fun treats and DIY kits that can make your Halloween 2021 unforgettable.
Burger King® has a new Ghost Whopper® that showcases its delicious 100% flame-grilled beef patty with tomatoes, lettuce, mayo, ketchup, pickles, and onions sandwiched between two tasty white cheddar cheese buns. Available only until Nov. 2, you can grab it in 13 select branches in Metro Manila.
