Decorate your Halloween party by placing trays of black treats in several places. It looks very atmospheric. Place all the sweet, dark-colored snacks you can find on the trays, such as licorice candies, dark chocolate-covered nuts and dried fruit, chocolate chip cookies, black M&M's, and, of course, a childhood favorite—dark caramel apples on a stick with chocolate cookie crumbles. After coating them in caramel, let them harden, then add them to the tray with the rest of the treats.

Cooking the dish according to the recipe:
- Arrange dark-colored snacks on a tray: fill bowls with black licorice, jelly beans, M&Ms, chocolate chip cookies, chocolate-covered nuts, and dried fruit. Then top it all off with caramel apples.
Caramel apples
Insert a wooden skewer into the core of each apple. Spray the baking sheet with cooking spray.Cook the caramel:
In a large saucepan over medium heat, stir with a wooden spoon until the sugar and corn syrup melt. Don't worry if the mixture starts to clump; it will eventually become smooth. Cook, swirling the pan but not stirring with a spoon, until the mixture is deep amber and reaches 250°F (118°C) on a candy thermometer, 8 to 12 minutes.- Add the butter all at once, stirring until melted. Reduce the heat to medium-low and pour in the heavy cream (the caramel will begin to bubble); stir until smooth.
- Increase the heat to medium-high and heat the caramel to 250°F (121°C), 8-10 minutes. Turn off the heat and let cool for 5-10 minutes. Dip the apples in the caramel, then roll them in the crushed cookies; place on a baking sheet to set for 5-10 minutes.
