Gather around the seance table and sink your fangs into these hauntingly delicious desserts this Halloween. From Ghostly Pots de Creme to Black Widow Peanut Butter Bars, we’ve got a bubbling cauldron full of not-too-scary, but oh-so-tasty treats that will make you the most popular witch in town! Grab your broom and let’s eat!
Spooky Bat Cake
This gorgeous Halloween cake from Taste of Home looks like a professional-level design, but it’s a cinch to make. It starts with a boxed cake mix (win!) and there’s only one color of icing! You can substitute purple icing for orange here if you prefer. That layer in the middle? That’s chopped-up peanut butter cups, which add a big ol’ layer of YUM!
Black Widow Peanut Butter Bars
These bars from Half-Baked Harvest are jam-packed with peanut butter and topped with rich chocolate frosting. The eye-catching web on these sweet and salty bars is made with melted marshmallows that are stretched across the top. Both kids and adults will love making this and we’re sure no one will complain about eating it!
Halloween Cupcakes
Mummies and skeletons and spiders, oh my! These spooky cupcakes from Preppy Kitchen in five festive designs will be a hit with everyone but not too scary for anyone. Cupcakes are easy to serve and easy to eat – a perfect dessert for any Halloween party.
Gluten-Free Monster Cookies
Halloween desserts can be downright scary for those with celiac disease and gluten sensitivities. These monster cookies from Primavera Kitchen offer a delicious option for those who have to steer clear of traditional desserts. Made with almond butter, natural sweetener, and dark chocolate chips, these cookies won’t cause quite as much guilt as those Halloween cupcakes.
Layered Candy Corn Pie
This pie from Food Network isn’t for beginners, but it’s a showstopper! Inspired by iconic candy corn, this pie looks the part, but it sure doesn’t taste like candy corn. Layered with three different fillings – mango, lemon, and coconut – this pie gives off serious tropical vibes! The toasted meringue on top and a sprinkling of candy corn really up the wow factor!
Chocolate-Covered Halloween Pretzels
Sweet, salty, and sensational, chocolate-covered pretzels are always a hit! Let the kids get creative with this ghoulish snack from Like Mother, Like Daughter. A bag of pretzel rods, candy eyes, colorful sprinkles, candy corn, and easy-to-melt candy melts are all it takes to create these spooky sticks.
Ghostly Pot De Creme
These pretty little pots de creme from Bakers Royale are a sophisticated way to bring a little fun to your table. This velvety chocolate custard is an elevated dessert that will impress your guests (and their taste buds). The ghosts are simple to make – created with homemade whipped cream, a piping bag, and candy eyes.
Creepy Monster Chex Mix
Set out a bowl of this monster mix from Made in a Day and it will be gone before you know it. A monster mash-up of pretzels, chex mix cereal, chocolate, M&Ms, spooky eyes, and more make this an eye-popping, irresistible Halloween favorite.
Monster Rice Krispies Treats
If you use store-bought Rice Krispies treats, these monsters can be made in no time at all. Just three ingredients are all it takes to whip up these frightful little creatures from Chelsea’s Messy Apron!
Halloween Oreo Roll
This sensational Oreo chocolate roll from Food Network makes a great centerpiece for a Halloween dessert table. Melted marshmallows and food coloring create a sticky web for gummy spiders to catch their prey.
