Instead of turning to storebought candy bars and processed jellybeans, make your own treats to celebrate the holiday this year. They're guaranteed to be more flavorful and more memorable than anything you'd find in the candy aisle. Take these adorable and slightly spooky [Mummy Hand Pies]( (above).
