If you’re looking forward to Halloween candy, wait until you try these homemade versions of your favorite store-bought treats. Perfect for Halloween parties or trick-or-treaters, most are quick and easy to make and taste even better than the originals!

Candy Corn

Super sweet and just as brightly colored as you remember! Making candy corn from scratch is like a craft project—you get to roll out the dough, and if you’re tired of the traditional yellow, orange, and white, you can get creative with the colors. Get this Candy Corn recipe.

Caramel Apples

Making caramel apples from scratch is much easier than most people think. With a simple caramel sauce and some craft sticks, you can construct an uncomplicated Halloween treat jazzed up with different toppings. Try chopped nuts, pretzels, sprinkles—the sky’s the limit!

Chocolate Bar

If you can melt chocolate, you can make a custom chocolate bar in no time. This recipe from David Lebovitz is rather fancy, but you can make these bars as humble or as elaborate as you want.

Peanut Butter Cups

Homemade Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups are only minutes away—these mouth-watering bites are practically as simple to make as melting chocolate chips in the microwave. Experiment with different shapes and sizes too!

Crunch Bars

Cereal is the secret ingredient here: Rice Krispies put the crunch in these childhood favorites. And they’re even cheaper to make than buying a bag of Crunch bars at the store!

“Snickles” Bars

Try out Chowhound’s version of a Snickers bar, the Snickles. The same salty peanut caramel and milk chocolate, enhanced with creamy peanut nougat. The bars may not be quite as uniform as the originals, but they’re twice as tasty.

Peppermint Patties

The classic chocolate-mint combo never gets old. These come together in a snap, and you can use the pure peppermint extract the recipe calls for in a variety of other baked goods (even milkshakes!).

Butterfingers

You’ll never guess the secret ingredient that makes the texture of these bars so special. Cornflakes! This recipe takes a bit more time than the others on this list, but the end result is worth it—the peanut buttery goodness just melts in your mouth.

Telehealth hubs offer care options for people living on the edge the virtual world

Imagine
At Catholic Charities Opportunity Center in downtown St. Paul, Senior Clinical Manager Stacie Joncas works with some of the people who’ve been hardest hit by the many crises that have befallen the Twin Cities over the last few months. “These are people who are really having a rough time right now,” she said. “With the murder of George Floyd, the riots and COVID, what we’re finding is a huge increase in mental health and substance use problems among our client population.” A day center for people experiencing homelessness and for members of other vulnerable communities, the Opportunity Center provides a safe place for people to spend time, eat a hot meal and get help with a variety of issues, including looking for a job, finding affordable housing and getting support for mental health and addiction concerns. When COVID-10 hit Minnesota this spring, most health care providers made the shift to telehealth as a way to safely see their patients without risk of spreading the virus. While

Overuse on cattle feedlots is a key factor in antibiotic resistance, report says

Cattle producers purchased 42 percent of all medically important antibiotics sold for livestock use in the United States in 2018 — about the same amount sold for chicken and pork production combined, according to a scathing  report published this month by the Natural Resources Defense Council (NRDC). In fact, in 2018, nearly as many antibiotics of medical importance were sold for use in cattle (5.6 million pounds) as for human use (7.5 million pounds). Most of those antibiotics wouldn’t be necessary if the U.S. beef industry made changes in how they raise cattle and produce meat. Cattle producers in the U.S. use antibiotics three to six times more intensively than do their counterparts in the European Union, the report points out. That’s because the drugs are fed routinely to cattle on U.S. feedlots — even when no animals are sick. The European Union, which is the third-largest beef producer globally, not only discourages the routine feeding of antibiotics to cattle, it has announ

Bringing Your Ballpark Food Favorites Home

Imagine
You know what I love? Baseball . There’s just something about it, you know? As America ’s pastime, it’s so historically and culturally significant—patriotic, in fact. As a summer sport, it was always a game I enjoyed during a break from school , when fun, relaxation, and baseball were what life was all about. As a daily sport, it’s great for someone like me. The practice to game ratio is great; when you win, you get to keep the momentum going; and when you lose, you can get right back to it the next day. Now that I’m older, and no longer play the game myself, it’s this last reason that really sticks with me. Baseball is an everyday sport. Sometimes it’s a grind. Sometimes it’s full of highs. In that way, it’s a lot like life. It also becomes a part of your life due to this same, everyday nature. For six months, it becomes your routine. You watch, or listen, spending time with the announcers for a few hours, as you go about your day. It’s a hobby, a passion, habitual. You know what
