    The best spooky supermarket sweets for trick or treating<\/h3>\n

    Tesco, Sainsbury\u2019s and M&S have a range of sweets on offer this week to get Britons stocked up for trick or treating.<\/p>\n

    The supermarket ranges include a mixture of major brands at a reduced price and some exclusive treats with a twist, such as \u201cpetrifying\u201d Percy Pigs\u00a0and \u201csuper sour\u201d Colin the Caterpillars sold in M&S.<\/p>\n

    Sour spiders, worms and even savoury pretzels are also available in Sainsbury\u2019s stores among other seasonal items.<\/p>\n

    Wash the Halloween treats down with a homemade spiced latte<\/h3>\n

    Autumn marks the\u00a0return of the Pumpkin Spice Latte\u00a0which is also known as the PSL. However, the iconic drink isn\u2019t the healthiest beverage and should be enjoyed in moderation.<\/p>\n

    Qualified nutritionist and health expert Kristen Stavridis has shared how people can\u00a0make their own \u201chealthier\u201d version of the warm drink at home.<\/p>\n

    She said: \u201cI make a PSL at home myself. I just use unsweetened almond or oat milk. I actually bought pumpkin spice on Amazon or you can make it yourself if you look it up online. I then use something like Stevia or a little bit of honey, which helps to sweeten the coffee.<\/p>\n

    \u201cI\u2019ll mix that with some decaf coffee and a non-dairy cream. It\u2019s absolutely delicious, free compared to the shop prices and saves time.\u201d<\/p>\n
