HALLOWEEN TREATS Serve Up These Ghoulish Delights At Your Next Halloween Party! | | Your holiday baking routine may feel like months away, but Halloween is a great time to get started on your baking spree and whip up some creative cakes, cookies and treats! Halloween-themed desserts are perfect for entertaining guests at the Halloween party or even sharing with the neighborhood trick-or-treating gang. Whether you’re a fan of brownies or cupcakes, try any of these creative Halloween-themed desserts for your upcoming event: DESSERT #1: BUTTERFINGER APPLES If you’re a fan of caramel apples but want to celebrate this Halloween with a twist, whip up a batch of caramel apples dipped in Butterfinger candy bar pieces. Just crush some Butterfinger candy bars in a bowl and dip each apple covered in caramel into the crushed candy bars for a tasty treat! | DESSERT #2: DIRT CUPS When you’re looking for a fun and tasty treat for the Halloween party table, whip up a batch of chocolate pudding and top it with crushed Oreos and some chewy fruit worms for a ghoulish treat! Just mix together 2 cups of cold milk with 1 package of dry pudding mix and spoon into small plastic cups. Top each one off with crushed Oreo cookies, and refrigerate it for at least an hour. Then add some gummy candy or other Halloween-inspired sweets to the top – it’s sure to be a party favorite! DESSERT #3: DEVIL’S FOOD CUPCAKES Nothing rings in the fall season better than a tasty chocolate cake, and Devil’s Food recipes are a great match for your cupcake tower. Devil’s Food cake topped with milk or dark chocolate frosting is Halloween-ified with some red devil “ears” made out of fondant, or even a few Halloween toys and figurines. At the very least, top off the chocolate frosting with orange sprinkles for a Halloween-inspired treat. | | DESSERT #4: PUMPKIN FUDGE If you’re a fan of classic fudge over winter season, pumpkin fudge is your reason to make up a batch of pumpkin-infused chocolate treats! You can use canned pumpkin with white chocolate chips, marshmallow crème and nuts to enhance your classic fudge recipe and give it a Halloween twist. Fudge can be stored in the refrigerator for weeks, so don’t be afraid to get a head start on baking and prepare for the season ahead! DESSERT #5: DRACULA’S BLOOD PUDDING Want a really gruesome treat for the gang? Make up some vanilla pudding and spoon a few spoonfuls of raspberry jam into each serving. A quick stir is all it takes to make it look like “blood” in the pudding cup, so make sure these are presented in clear plastic cups for the maximum effect. | DESSERT #6: SCARY SUGAR COOKIES Nothing beats the classic sugar cookie over the holidays, but you don’t have to wait until Christmas to get your fix! Whip up a batch of sugar cookie dough and use Halloween-themed cutouts to create bats, spider webs, a witch’s hat and pumpkin shapes. Then top each one off with royal icing colored with orange, black, green and other ghoulish colors! Making and decorating sugar cookies is a fun and creative way to celebrate the season, and your tray of cookies will definitely catch the party’s attention! From Pumpkin Fudge to Devil’s Food Cupcakes, you have lots of options for putting together that Halloween dessert table. Allow the party to indulge in these sweet treats for an unforgettable event! | Start Planning Your Halloween Party! | | | | | Also Try... | | | | | | Article Written By: Sabah Karimi; Sabah is a busy writer from Orlanda, Fla., who is passionate about writing on health and fitness, beauty, fashion and style tips, spa and travel topics.
