Adult Halloween Treats That'll Make Your House a Must-Visit
Win over neighbors this year by offering up goodies for the grown-ups along with the kids.

Who said only kids are allowed to be rewarded for their efforts on Oct. 31? Consider starting a new tradition this year and open the door with two offerings instead of one: a bucket of candy for the kids and a tray full of treats for everyone over 21.
Here are a few easy grown-up goodie ideas that'll send trick-or-treating chaperones home just as happy as their costumed counterparts.

Alcoholic Lollipops
So maybe people coming to your porch won't have time to sit down for a cocktail, but we're betting they'd still appreciate a little nip to keep them chugging. These alcoholic lollipops from Lollyphile are the perfect way to slip 'em a sip of the good stuff in the form of innocent candy. India Pale Ale, Chardonnay, and Bourbon are just a few flavors you can offer up — just don't mix them up with the Tootsie Pops.

Jello Shots
If you're not so worried about being discreet with the libations you're offering up, a batch of pre-made Jell-O shots will go over like hotcakes. All you need is this super-simple recipe and a pack of 2-oz. plastic cups. Serve them up on a platter, and don't be surprised if some people sneak a second one.
A Drink To Go
For your neighbors who may not be into getting tipsy, coffee or hot chocolate is the next-best option for keeping them motivated to continue to house after house. Pick which you'd like to serve up, and keep it in a carafe by the door so it stays warm, along with a selection of sugar packets and mini creamers. Then serve it up in paper coffee cups so they can take it to go.
A (Slightly) Spooky Snack
The only thing Halloween-y about Devils on Horseback is their name, but anything bacon-wrapped and savory will be a welcomed treat on a night full of sweets. There are lots of variations on these little guys, so just pick your favorite recipe on Pinterest then be sure to serve 'em up on toothpicks for easy grabbing.
