What are some Halloween goodies can i make?
I plan on spending the day and night with my sister on Halloween. She is almost 30 and i am 17. I don’t have much money. So what desserts, foods, snacks, and drinks could we make for Halloween (Halloween related of course) that would be innexpensive? And what ingredients would i need?
Note to keep in my: I Have braces and i am not allowed to have anything sticky like caramel and very hard things

Try sweet potato tempura.
It’s a Japanese dish but it tastes like sweet potato/pumpkin pie (i cant really taste the difference to be honest >>;; ) and it’s nice and orange so they look like little fried pumpkins.
What you do is you slice up a sweet potato into about 1/2 inch slices (or find some yam patties, the Ingles near me sells them but I don’t know about elsewhere) and you dip them in a batter consisting of 1 cup of flour, one cup of cold water, and one egg, but don’t over mix it. Anyway, dip the yams into the batter and let them sit for a bit while you heat up some olive oil to 350 degrees (F, about 177 celsius). When the oil is ready coat the batter-covered yams into some flour and cook them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they’re golden brown. To make them even more Halloween-y, cut out Jack-o-Lantern faces in the middle of the disks and use the extra bits as garnish. This stuff tastes good plain, with brown or powdered sugar, and with vanilla ice cream of course.

You could also make gignersnap cookies and shape them into a finger before you bake them. Use a sliced almond at the end for the fingernail.
