They’re sweet, savory, crunchy, and oh-so-cute.

3. Creepy Witches Fingers

Got a bag of mozzarella sticks in the freezer? Then you have to make these easy Witch’s fingers.

Just cut off the top and add pumpkin seeds for the nails.

You can also dip them in marinara sauce so they look bloody!

These chicken wings might be too creepy for kids, but they’ll be a hit with grown-ups.

Marinated in a blend of ketchup, cider vinegar, soy sauce, molasses, hot sauce, and garlic, they’ve got a punch of impressive flavor.

But let’s be honest, it’s the shocking black color that’ll have you coming back for more.

5. Halloween Pretzels

These pretzels are so convincingly creepy, they’re sure to start a conversation.

Long, thin pretzels are dipped in green candy and decorated, turning them into bloody witches’ fingers.

If that’s a bit too graphic, you can also transform these pretzels into bugs or stick to classic sprinkles.

They’re really easy to make too. Just grab a packet of Oreos and get creative!

You’ll need a good selection of candy melts, sprinkles, and candy eyes for this one.

If you have a crowd coming this Halloween, you’ll need to give them something satisfying, filling, and easy.

This seven-layer dip ticks all the boxes.

It has all the things you love about the classic dip – spicy black beans, fresh guac, grated cheese, and juicy tomatoes – but with a spooky makeover.

Assemble the layers then decorate with a sour cream spider web, containing a black olive spider. 

Serve this with loads of tortilla chips and/or crackers.

If you really want to double down on the theme, pair it with witchy broomstick pretzels (recipe below!).

Peanut butter cups are welcome at any party. But don’t rely on Reeses, make your own!

With just four ingredients and 30 minutes, you can have your own homemade candies. This easy recipe shows you how it’s done.

10. Candy Corn Rice Krispies

This unique recipe takes the traditional Rice Krispie treats we know and love and adds candy corn.

This Halloween dirt cake is a ghoulish genius.

It’s a rich chocolate pudding cake, decorated with candy corn and white cookies to create a tombstone-laden graveyard on top of your ‘dirt.’

Add a few Halloween cake pops on top, and they’ll steal the show.
