If you love Halloween as much as we do, these homemade Halloween recipes make the perfect treats.
We live in what can best be described as the ultimate Halloween neighborhood. The decorations and trick or treating are unmatched!
While we go through thousands of pieces of Halloween candy for trick or treaters, I also make something festive and homemade, too.
With the streets clogged with kids in every Halloween costume imaginable, I run house to house sharing treats with our neighbors.
These Halloween recipes are the perfect festive addition to your celebration – and they’re guaranteed to be far more treat than trick!

Candy Apples Recipe
A true classic (that I could eat any time of the day or night), candy apples are synonymous with Halloween! I love to take the family apple picking at a local orchard, and with all the variations that you can possibly enjoy, candy apples are without a doubt incredibly popular. Fun to make together and bag up for a class party or take-home treat, candy apples are an absolute must for October!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Pretzel Bark Recipe
Chocolate, peanut butter, and pretzels makes perhaps one of the best flavor combinations of all time. The pairing of sweet and salty has always been a favorite of mine though. Our chocolate peanut butter pretzel bark recipe is truly a cinch to make, plus it will use up all those little packets of Reese’s Pieces that make their way home on Halloween. Make it now. Thank me later.

Candy Corn Trash Recipe
Love it or hate it, as there doesn’t seem to be much in-between, candy corn = Halloween. You may be familiar with other “trash” recipes that are, in fact, anything but! Meant as a mixture of different items, “trash” recipes, like our candy corn trash recipe, are a delight for those who love a sweet and savory combo. It tastes great next to some fresh, hot, buttery popcorn – yum!
