The type of food traditionally eaten on Halloween in Mexico is "Pan de muerto," which translates to "bread of the dead." This special bread is typically made to celebrate the Day of the Dead (Día de los Muertos), which occurs on November 1st and 2nd. While the holiday honors deceased loved ones, pan de muerto is a sweet bread that is often shaped like skulls or bones and is adorned with sugar and other toppings. Families often place this bread on altars alongside photos, candles, and other offerings to invite the spirits of the departed to return home for the celebration.
