With spooky costumes, activities, and candy galore, who doesn’t love Halloween? While Covid-19 has seemingly taken over our lives, there is still plenty of Halloween fun in Salt Lake.

While there are many reasons to relocate to Salt Lake, the plethora of exciting events is at the top of the list. For the top events to attend this Halloween season, read on.

1. Halloween at Home

If you’re looking to spend Halloween at home this year, have no fear. There are many spooky activities and delicious treats to try from the comfort of your own home.

If you’re not trick-or-treating this Halloween, consider making these fun treats perfect for the whole family. A simple, favorite Halloween treat is the classic Witch Hat Cookie.

For this recipe, start by baking regular chocolate chip cookies. Then, dip the cookies into the chocolate sauce (a bowl of melted semi-sweet morsels.) After, place the dipped cookies onto a baking sheet and refrigerate.

While the cookies are hardening in the fridge, create orange, purple, and green topping by mixing vanilla icing with food coloring. Finally, decorate the chilled cookies with colorful icing and top with a Hershey’s kiss. This at-home sweet treat is creative and delicious for all to enjoy.

2. Strangling Brothers

This haunted circus offers all the heart-racing, adrenaline-pumping fun you could ask for. Voted the number one Utah Haunted House, the special-effects and over-the-top characters will blow your mind.
