If you’re looking for the appropriate stuffed pepper for Halloween, look no further than Jack-o-Lantern Protein Peppers.
Brought to us by Pop Sugar, the stuffed peppers are made possible with orange peppers, a bit of carving, and quinoa and kale. So the pepper-o-lanterns are nutritious and there’s no pumpkin guts to deal with. Check out the recipe below.

It’s almost Halloween, so there’s no place for Happy Meals, or anything too cheerful. These horror-inspired Happy Meals, by Newt Cloninger-Clements, are scary horror movie and television-inspired versions of the McDonald’s boxed lunch.
Just like a traditional Happy Meal, these horror versions come with a free prize, only scarier. Stranger Things fans would receive a demogorgon, while The Walking Dead comes with a scary Carol doll. No mention how frightening the actual meal inside is — however, it is still McDonald’s, so be afraid.
October is almost here, which means that there will be vampires everywhere looking to bite us, and possibly steal our chips… true story.
Black Garlic Doritos are here to protect us this fall. Not only do vampires hate garlic, but we hear that they only dig Cool Ranch… another true story.
Although the chips are only available in Japan, we can still eat Doritos all October. Just avoid Cool Ranch.

Candy corn, the ubiquitous Halloween candy that’s given out by the neighbors who hate kids, is apparently in the middle of some sort of renaissance. Brach’s, borrowing from the alternative-flavor playbook created by Oreo, has unleashed Brunch-Flavored Candy Corn.
The sugar-nuggets, having graduated from their familiar yellow, white and orange, have been replaced with the desaturated colors of a late breakfast. Flavors of the brunch candy corns are French Toast and Maple Syrup, Waffles and Strawberry, and Chocolate Chip Pancakes — replacing the classic flavor of high fructose corn syrup and disappointment.
Brunch Favorites Candy Corns will be available for a limited time only at Target stores.
It’s cereal monster season and, let’s face it, our current mascot trio is getting a bit long in the tooth. So, what if these outdated cereals were rebooted with a few modern-day monsters?
HalloweenCostumes.com is here to provide that visual with Cereal Killers. Imagine strolling the cereal aisle and not being able to decide between Friday The 13th-inspired ‘Machete Mateys,’ ‘Fruity Kruegers,’ or ‘Xenomorph Mallows.’
So, how about it, General Mills? Time for an update? Please keep Fruit Brute though.
