Local Halloween Treats & Eats So Good It’s Scary

The food scene in Los Angeles right now is so good it’s scary. So there’s no shortage of places to get your grub on Halloween style this year, and it’s not all sweets. Take your ghouls and ghosts out for vegan hot dogs from Frankenstand and top it off with candy corn flavored ice cream at Salt and Straw. No matter what your frightfully picky family is craving, there’s something for everyone. Trick and treats guaranteed.

Old Timey Candy

Since Halloween is all about the candy, it's time to introduce kids to the good stuff. Rocket Fizz sells all of the best old school candy you can think of from wax lips to fizzy pop rocks, so you can ditch the mass market stuff and give out the coolest treats on the block. It's all new for the kids, but a trip down memory lane for parents. They also sell a crazy selection of sodas, including a pumpkin pie crème. If you try it, will you come back and let us know how it is?
