Easy Halloween Dessert Recipes

Halloween, we’re ready for you. There’s no arguing that October 31st calls for sugar. Forget the ghosts and goblins, I’m definitely here for the festive desserts this Halloween season. (And I know you are too!) If you’re looking for Halloween dessert recipes, I have you covered. From apples and cupcakes to scary delicious candy recipes, let’s jumpstart that sugar high. Boo!

Halloween Chocolate Bark – Boo Bark!

I created an easy new dessert this Halloween season. Scroll down below for the simple chocolate bark recipe—I call it BOO BARK! You just need some quality baking chocolate and your favorite festive candies. The proper chocolate is imperative—do not use chocolate chips. (Save those for chocolate chip cookies or even pumpkin chocolate chip cookies!) Then let your creative side run wild with the candy. The eyeballs are hilariously cute!

Reese’s Peanut Butter White Chocolate Bark

For my fellow peanut butter fans out there, this Reese’s peanut butter white chocolate bark is also perfectly festive. It’s just as easy to make as Boo Bark, too!

Pumpkin Spice Puppy Chow

This pumpkin spice puppy chow is scary simple and incredibly addictive. (This snack mix is not dog food—it also goes by the name Muddy Buddies. Always have to remind people of that!)

Candy Bar Blondies

These candy bar blondies are another excuse to stock up on Halloween candy.

Pumpkin Rice Krispie Treats

My pumpkin rice krispie treats are always fun and there’s literally never any leftover. I made 2 pans for a party last year and that still wasn’t enough!

Candy Corn Pretzel Hugs

A bowl of 3 ingredient candy corn pretzel hugs never stands a chance at any Halloween gathering. Instead of Hershey’s hugs candies, you can use the regular kisses. I love these with the dark chocolate kisses!

Pumpkin Bars

Meet the best pumpkin bars I’ve ever had. They aren’t quite as light and cakey as most other recipes I’ve tried. Instead, they’re soft and sturdy which pairs perfectly with the spiced cream cheese frosting and sprinkles on top!

Caramel Apples

Tis the season! Enjoy your apples as homemade caramel apples. While I swear by cooking the caramel to 235°F (113°C) for this particular caramel recipe, cooking the caramel closer to 240°F (116°C) will help the caramel stick to the apple better for the caramel apples. Anywhere between the two is the Soft Ball Stage, perfect for apple coating.

Pumpkin Cupcakes

These pumpkin cupcakes have been the most popular recipe this season. They’re super moist, soft, and perfectly spiced. How about a version suitable for breakfast? Try my simply pumpkin muffins instead. And you can decorate them as Halloween Cupcakes!

And If You’re Decorating Cookies…

These cookie cutter Halloween cookies are fun, festive, and you can decorate them based on your skill level. Have fun and make a decorating afternoon of it!
