I went a little wild in past years with creepy Halloween recipes: candy pops, Halloween cocktails, marshmallow ghosts, and other goodies. I figured it was about that time of year where we can haul out the edible googly eyes and colored candy melts to make something kids and kids-at-heart can totally wig out about.
Yep, it’s Halloween recipe time!
Halloween recipes for everyone
Ghostbusters marshmallows
Technically I made these marshmallows for the premiere of the new Ghostbusters reboot, but they fit right into a Halloween recipe lineup, right? Marshmallows are super fun to make and you can use any cookie cutter shapes you prefer. I used this one.

Halloween pretzel kisses
This is a classic recipe that always get nabbed quickly at parties. I used both chocolate kisses and pumpkin spice kisses for a little color variety. Use whatever kind you like.

Cake batter cookies
Using only three main ingredients, the toppings and fillings are up to you in these cookies. I’m using the ultimate shortcut of cake batter to make these cookies so flippin’ easy.
I used the sweet and salty combo of caramel-flavored candy corn and roasted peanuts. I’d also suggest white chocolate chips, pistachios, a caramel drizzle… anything you like.

Frankenstein marshmallow pops
More edible eyeballs! They make everything funny. These Frankie marshmallow pops are super fun to display at a Halloween party.

Monster s’mores
Need a last-minute treat to bring to a party? These bad boys take about 20 minutes total. So easy, so fun, so silly.

Halloween trash bark
I sensing a trend of EASY recipes for Halloween parties. I can’t argue with recipes that just require a little assembly. This one is one of those. A base layer, some melty chocolate, and whatever leftover Halloween candy you have on hand = done.
