11 Spooktacular Halloween Recipes

Halloween wasn't really something that my family has ever really done. But it has been so lovely discovering new autumn traditions with my own family. We always take her pumpkin picking at a local pumpkin patch to search for the biggest pumpkin we can find, as well as getting some smaller ones to use as autumn décor in our home.


Nothing gets us into the spirit of Halloween than getting into the kitchen to make some spooktacular sweet treats. So, I thought today would be the perfect time to share 11 favourite Spooktacular recipes that you serve at a party or for your trick-or-treaters to enjoy.  These Halloween treats come together in a snap—really! These spooky sweets, including Halloween Cookies, Chocolate Apple Slice Pops, and easy Super Loaded Halloween Bark, are easy, creative, and perfect for parties or for a little treat to enjoy with a pumpkin spice latte. 


Chocolate Spider Web Cupcakes

These Chocolate Spider Web Cupcakes are covered in marshmallow webbing that is made by melting down mini marshmallows and using your fingers to stretch the gooey mixture over a chocolate cupcake. It messy but lots of fun! You could add a little fright into every bite and make chocolate spiders to add onto the top. They are the perfectly frightful finishing touch.

Halloween Cookies

Cookies and biscuit are something that we love to do with our daughter. There are so many wonderful recipes out there. You could try our Easy Vanilla Cookies, or our autumn favourite  Orange Vanilla Spice Cookies. Why not give jammy dodgers a terrifying twist and create spooky skulls with a delicious filling and eye-catching design with these Halloween Cookies

Slow Cooker Pumpkin Spiced Fudge

This easy pumpkin fudge with sweetened condensed milk recipe only needs a few simple ingredients to make and uses pumpkin spice. It’s a perfect no-bake dessert that you can make in no time.

Halloween treats are the best and if you're looking for a quick and simple Halloween treat or party food, then you will love making these Little Halloween Monster Treats. They are so easy and simple to make you'll can make a batch of these in no time at all not including the setting of course. We enjoyed making these monster treats for home whilst watching some Halloween favourites, but they are great ideas for a spooky party or for you to enjoy at school. 

Chocolate Apple Slice Pops

These Chocolate Apple Slice Pops may just become my favourite recipe. To be fair, it's not really a recipe; it's just apples, chocolate, and delicious toppings. Crunchy, sweet, and always delicious. These pops are a perfect sweet treat to make with the little one. This recipe makes them a great treat for children and you will have lots of fun making them together. We made some scary monsters and zombies which is a great activity to do to get into the Halloween spirit. 


Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

What's the first thing that comes to mind when we think of Halloween? For me, it's pumpkins. We love to take our daughter pumpkin picking and spending lots of time carving scary faces into them, so what better way to use up most of the pumpkin insides than a pumpkin muffin recipe. Nothing says autumn quite like a warm cup of sweet, spiced pumpkin goodness! Pumpkin Spice season is the best season! These super moist Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes are so easy to make, perfectly pumpkin spiced and finished with a creamy cheese frosting. They will soon become the newest obsession for autumn baking.

Super Loaded Halloween Bark

If you're looking for a super quick and easy recipe to make with your children, then you should definitely try and make some of these Super Loaded Halloween Bark. You simply melt your chocolate and pour onto the lined baking tray. Randomly dot a small amount of food colouring into the melted chocolate and swirl into a patterns. Then add some spooky sprinkles, smarties or googly eyes. 

White Chocolate No-Bake Halloween Eyeball Cakes

How spooky do these eyeball cakes look? This is probably one of the easiest Halloween recipes, in fact so easy that even if you cannot bake you'll be able to create these in next to no time. Leaving more time for other Halloween fun! These White Chocolate No-Bake Halloween Eyeball Cakes are just the cutest little cupcakes and perfect if you’re in a hurry and have minimal time.

Halloween Blondies

These Halloween Blondies are extremely easy to make for beginner bakers, so it would make a fun and simple after school activity to bake with your children. But you can also modify for this recipe and be ready for any occasion Simply use red and green M&M’s or sprinkles for Christmas, or pastel colour decorations for an Easter treat. 

Chocolate Covered Halloween Pretzels

Turn pretzels into a sweet, salty and spooky Halloween treat with some melted chocolate. It is such a quick and easy recipe with only four ingredients needed. My kind of recipe. These Chocolate Covered Halloween Pretzels would be the perfect activity to do with your children over half term week as anyone can get their hands dirty. You could also add coloured sprinkles, googly eyes for some spooky decorations. 

Frozen Banana Ghosts

We saved the best until last with the sweetest little Frozen Banana Ghosts. Bananas taste spookily like creamy ice cream when frozen in ghostly robes of white chocolate - it is so good. All you need is some white chocolate, ripe bananas, desiccated coconut and a handful of dark chocolate chips for eyes. These would make the perfect sweet treat for those that are hosting a Halloween party or gathering friends over to watch a spooky film.
