There’s nothing better than a spooky spin on the traditional cake pop. In this case, we’re making a jack o’ lantern with a witch hat. If you’ve never made cake pops, this video proves they are one of the easiest sweet treats. You don’t even need to bake anything. All you need are your favorite candy melts, chocolate and cake. Of course, you can make your own cake if you have the time, but store-bought will work just as well if you’re in a rush.

Halloween Bark

@macy.blackwell Halloween Bark! So fun to make for a spooky movie night! I love to serve it with popcorn for the perfect sweet & salty combo! #halloweenbark #halloweentreats #halloweensweets kodak catching paper planes by vatolocz - vatolocz !

If you’re familiar with any of the holiday bark, this Halloween-style bark will make your mouth water. Unlike the Christmas-style ones with peppermint and snowmen, this bark has candy corn and pretzels for that sweet and salty combination. The recipe is fairly simple and anyone can make it. You are going to need some chocolate to melt, your favorite Halloween candies, pretzels, and somewhere cool to let the bark set.

@thelindsayann My viral severed finger sugar cookies! DM me for the recipe! #halloweencookies #halloweenrecipe #halloweendecor #halloweenrecipes #halloweenfood #halloweenparty #halloweenideas #halloweentreats #halloweendiy #halloweendecorations #halloweeninspo original sound - Lindsay Ann

These sugar cookie fingers aren’t for the faint of heart. I almost gasped when I came across them! They may look gruesome, but they are some of the easiest cookies to make, and they have a surprise inside. The no-spread cookie dough helps the cookie keep its shape in the oven, while the jam and brushed oreo crumbs give the finger a dirty and bloody look. The secret ingredient is the pretzel stick in the center to make sure the cookie snaps when you take a bite.

Halloween Brownies

If you’re a huge chocolate lover, this treat is perfect for you. The brownie is something you can make all season long, but this particular one has a Halloween twist. It’s perfect for your Halloween parties and delicious midnight snacks. You’re going to layer chocolate chip cookie dough and Halloween Oreos, and pour that decadent brownie batter overtop. Jazz up the brownie with some orange and black sprinkles to really give it that Halloween flare.

Next up is a fall classic. Candy apples are a very recognizable fall treat. This Halloween, we are taking a spin on the traditional apple and giving it a spooky finish.
