Halloween is a time not just for costumes, but for lots of treats. After all, costumes aren’t exclusively for people—your food can dress up for the occasion too. Get your cauldron—ahem mixing bowl—ready to whip up these bewitching treats.

Strawberry Ghosts

If you’re looking for a last-minute treat after spending hours on a Halloween costume, these strawberry ghosts will be a breeze. Simply dip your strawberries in white chocolate and draw on a ghost face with edible marker or melted chocolate. You now have an adorable, even healthy-ish dessert.

Oreo Mummies

Where are the chocolate lovers at? Oreos already serve rich-chocolate-y goodness, but drenching them in more chocolate makes them even better. To make these Oreo mummies, dip Oreos in melted chocolate, drizzle melted white chocolate over them, and finally, add a pair of chocolate eyes to each cookie. 

Mummy Hot Dogs

Oreos aren’t the only thing you can mummify! Crescent rolls, with their golden sweet, crispy exterior and a soft, tender interior, wrapped around tiny sausages center, make for a hauntingly delicious treat. To make these mummy hot dogs, you’ll need to first boil sausages. Once the sausages are cooked, unravel any store-bought crescent roll package and wrap hot dog sausages in strips of the dough to create mummy-like hot dogs. Bake them in the oven (or air fryer for crispy exterior) with the temperature set at 350° Fahrenheit for 12-15 minutes as directed by the crescent roll package. Finally, add mustard, ketchup, or edible candy for the eyes.

Jack O’Lantern Cake Pops

Nothing screams Halloween more than Jack O’Lanterns. Made with only three ingredients, these cake pops will get everyone in the Halloween spirit. Use any cake mix you have and prepare it as directed. Then, crumble the cake, mix in one cup of frosting, and roll it into small round balls and dip them in orange-colored melted chocolate. Elevate the original cake pop by drawing on a spooky face to complete the Jack O’Lantern look. 

Spooky Snack Mix

You’ve probably heard of Trail Mix or Snack Mix, but have you ever tried Halloween Mix? Every Halloween treat has its own unique taste that you usually only get to taste once a year—might as well make the most of it! Making Halloween Mix is wickedly simple: in a bowl, combine pretzels, popcorn, M&Ms, candy corn, and gummy worms along with any other sinister sweets you desire.  

Bloody Shirley Temples

Looking for a bewitching potion to spook up your Halloween? These bloody Shirley Temples are eerily perfect. You can whip up this drink by mixing any lemon lime soda with grenadine syrup to make the Shirley Temple and then fill syringes with grenadine for decoration. 

Spider Donuts

Inspired by Dunkin Donuts, these spider donuts will weave their way into anyone’s sweet tooth. It may have the same texture and taste all around, but its classic sweetness is hard to get sick of. Glaze store-bought donuts (or, if you dare, bake your own) with orange-colored icing, add a chocolate munchkin in the center, and draw spider legs with melted chocolate to replicate this classic treat.

Frankenstein Rice Krispie Treats:

We all know and love the classic Rice Krispy treats, but here we’re taking it to another level. By adding green food dye, chocolate accessories, and eyeballs, we have ourselves a new friend that is almost too scary to eat.

Monster Cookie

Monster cookies are for the adventurous kind who love to experiment with their food. With a variety of possible add-ins, these monster cookies won’t scare you with their looks however they might shock you with their taste—in a good way, of course. A monster cookie is a combination of different cookie add-ins. It can include anything from M&Ms, peanuts, or even leftover Halloween candy. Bake in the oven for 10 to 12 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Witch Finger Dipped Pretzels

For all the chocolate and pretzel combo lovers, this dessert will be for you. This sweet and salty dessert uses pretzel rods and green dyed chocolate for the base of the finger, and an almond to act as the fingernail.

With these desserts, scaring is caring. Halloween is a time for pumpkin costumes, and most of all, desserts. This is the one exception where you’ll be treating your friends and family instead of tricking them, so be sure to give one of these treats a try.
