15 Easy Halloween Dessert Recipes. Boo!

by Sally on October 23, 2012 · 26 comments

Halloween is my favorite holiday.  Hands down, the BEST. Something about the spooks, the costumes, the carved pumpkins, and the candy (!!!) make me particularly giddy this time of year.

When I first spot the candy corn, witch hats, and face paint on the Target shelves each year, I get butterflies.

I’m a nerd.

 It’s my first Halloween as a baking blogger.

And I’m here to share all my favorite Halloween recipes with the world. :)

However,  it is most certainly not my first Halloween feeding the masses at Halloween parties.  From cookies to candy to brownies to blondies, here is a list of a few favorite goodies to bake for the spooky holiday…


Decisions, decisions…

 

 Chocolate Dipped Brownie Bites

Dark chocolate brownies with festive sprinkles.

 

Pumpkin Pie Rice Krispie Treats

Use those pumpkin mallowcreme candies for decoration!

 

Peanut Butter M&M Cookies

The softest peanut butter cookie ever loaded with autumn colored M&Ms.

 

Chewy Butterfinger Cookies

Butterfingers are my favorite trick-or-treat goodie! Wait ’til you try them in cookies.

 

Candy Bar Blondies

For all that leftover Halloween candy!

 

Reese’s Peanut Butter White Chocolate Bark

Make it festive with Reese’s Pieces!

 

Nutella Swirled Pumpkin Pie

Swirly, twirly, chocolatey, & orange :)

 

Cake Batter Blondies

Cake batter with an overload of Halloween sprinkles!

 

S’mores Puppy Chow

Pretty sure this stuff is good any time of year.

 

1 Giant Reese’s Peanut Butter Cookie

In case you’re selfish and want a monster cookie all to yourself…

 

Skinny Frozen Peanut Butter Pie

Because the full-fat version is kinda scary.

 

Candy Corn Pretzel Hugs

So EASY! And adorable.


Pretzel Hugs

Just in case you don’t like candy corns :)

 

Oatmeal Pumpkin Creme Pies

Like Little Debbie, but better.

 

3 Ingredient Sugar Free Chocolate Bars

Guilt-free chocolate bars for Halloween, anyone?

 

What are you baking for Halloween?  How are you celebrating?

 I’ve been baking my way through a Halloween sprinkle stash. ;)

 And carving pumpkins. Boo!

I wasn’t much of a Halloween fan until now! You seriously have made me so excited to bake all of these, and I have to get it done in a week! Oh well, I’ll just have to make the rest for Thanksgiving then! :)

I have that same bag of candy corn mix! I heart the pumpkins. Sugar rush!!
What fun, festive ideas. The PB pie and pumpkin krispies are love at first sight. I’ve been going nuts with Halloween treats this week, but fear I will run out before Halloween arrives. Whoops! Good thing for this repository of yummy ideas:-)

Hi Erin! I got your email. Will get back to you as soon as I can. Thank you! You are so sweet. The PB pie – SO good.

These are all great! I’m inspired to make something to share with my office gang for Halloween. Your pictures are so good. Drop by my kitchen and leave a cookie recipe for our Holiday Cookie Exchange.

That S’mores Puppy Chow is on my list of recipes to make! I’ve been so obsessed with pumpkin lately that I’ve neglected my love for s’mores. Definitely need to bring it back with that puppy chow.

You’re awesome and I want to be you when I grow up. Those candy corn hugs.. I think they’re one of my favorites, along with that Reese’s bark. Still can’t get over that PB layer in between the white chocolate. Love!

Such a festive round-up of recipes! I’m actually had quite a few of these pinned for awhile now, Halloween is the perfect reason to bake so I think it’s time to cross one off my list! PB Cookies with M&M’s or Chewy butterfinger cookies…hmm

Sally October 25, 2012 at 12:32 pm

both wonderful choices, Meghan! I don’t think I could pick. Maybe the M&M cookies? But hte butterfinger ones are SO easy! Ahh. I love them both.
