Halloween Drinks
For some, this is where the party really starts, a good drink can add just as much to a Halloween spread as the treats do. This lineup covers everything from a crowd-pleasing pitcher to single spooky shots.
Halloween Sangria
This Halloween Sangria is a bold, deep red blend of dark fruit, red wine, apple cider and spiced rum, perfect for parties or sipping under a full moon.
Alien Brain Hemorrhage Shot
Alien Brain Hemorrhage Shot is the classic gross-out Halloween drink, dripping, layered, and exactly as unsettling as it sounds.
Scooby Doo Shot
This Scooby Doo Shot isn't spooky so much as just plain fun, a nostalgic, colorful sipper for anyone who wants a laugh at the party.
Baked Treats
Baked Halloween Treats bring the classic cookie-and-brownie-tray energy, dressed up for the season.
Halloween Sugar Cookie Bars
These Halloween Sugar Cookie Bars are soft, chewy, and topped with orange buttercream and sprinkles for a sweet, festive treat.
Prefer a classic drop cookie instead of bars? Try my Frosted Halloween Sugar Cookies.
Witch Finger Cookies
These Witch Fingers are buttery, spooky-cute cookies shaped and decorated to look just like a witch's gnarled hand, easy to make and always a showstopper on a Halloween treat table.
Spiderweb Brownies
These Spiderweb Brownies start with a simple box mix and get dressed up with a spooky marshmallow spiderweb design on top. They are easy enough for a weeknight bake, impressive enough for a Halloween party platter or a spooky treat to send to school!
Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies
These Chocolate Cake Mix Cookies are rich, chocolatey, and come together in minutes thanks to the cake mix shortcut.
Spider Cookies
These Spider Cookies are a fun, crawly twist on a classic cookie, perfect for a Halloween treat tray.
Mummy Brownies
These Mummy Brownies take a classic fudgy brownie and wrap it up in white chocolate "bandages" and candy eyes.
Leftover Halloween Candy Cookie Bars
These Leftover Halloween Candy Cookie Bars are the easiest way to use up your Halloween candy stash. Just chop, mix, and bake into one pan instead of scooping individual cookies, but be sure to save more for the top!

Halloween (Cheesecake) Brownies
These Halloween Cheesecake Brownies are rich, fudgy, and dressed up with spooky sprinkles for an easy seasonal favorite.
No-Bake & Candy
No-Bake Halloween Treats mean less oven time and more time enjoying the party, these lean on the microwave, slow cooker, or fridge instead.
Mummy Rice Krispie Treats
These Mummy Rice Krispie Treats dress up the classic marshmallow treat with white chocolate "wrapping" and candy eyes peeking out.
Halloween Crockpot Candy
This Halloween Crockpot Candy lets your slow cooker do the work, turning white chocolate and peanuts into rich, spooky candy clusters.
Candy Corn Fudge
This Candy Corn Fudge is rich and creamy, made right in the microwave with candy corn stirred throughout and pressed on top, no candy thermometer or stovetop babysitting required. Simple to make and even more fun to slice and serve.
Halloween Crack
This Halloween Crack is sweet, salty, and seriously addictive, buttery toffee and melted chocolate over crispy saltine crackers, topped with your favorite Halloween candy and sprinkles.
Halloween Puppy Chow
This Halloween Puppy Chow gives the classic snack mix a chocolatey, powdered sugar coating and a spooky presentation.
Dirt and Worm Cups
These Dirt and Worm Cups layer chocolate pudding, crushed cookies, and gummy worms into a fun, no-bake dessert cup.
Halloween Snack Mix
This Halloween Snack Mix is sweet and salty in every handful, the treat you'll keep going back to long after the kids move on to their candy.
Monster Eye Pretzel Treats
These Monster Eye Pretzel Treats are salty pretzels, melty chocolate caramel, and a candy eye pressed right into the center, little one-eyed monsters that are almost too cute to eat. Almost.
Candy Corn Crunch Bark
This Candy Corn Crunch Bark is sweet white chocolate bark studded with crunchy candy corn pieces, ready in the time it takes to melt and set.
That's a full Halloween spread, drinks, baked favorites, and no-bake treats, with a couple of brand-new additions this year. And if you're looking for something savory to round out the table, my Hot Dog Mummies are always a hit for a spooky-but-kid-friendly bite.
