In full disclosure - I absolutely loveHalloween! It is my favorite holiday and it's also the perfect time of the year for a horror lover such as myself.
The dark gloomy skies, the creepy new flicks that come out, the costumes and mayhem, and of course, the treats that I can’t help but crave year-round.
As the days grow shorter and the air crisper, it’s nice to be in the kitchen by a warm stove, and even better when you can enjoy it with family and friends.
This is the time of year when I truly love nothing better than to whip up a tasty snack or dessert and curl up under blankets with the kids to watch a movie.
In celebration of spooky season, here are some of our best Halloween recipes so you can try your hand making a few uniqeu tricks and treats this year!
If my kids offer me a sampling of their prized Halloween candy stash, one of the first things I’ll go to grab is the bright yellow and blue wrapper of a Butterfinger! Our delicious Butterfinger cupcakes are a true treat pairing the beloved candy bar with thickly iced cupcakes that will leave you wanting a second...and a third. Bonus, the colors will perfectly coordinate with your Halloween party décor!
What’s Halloween known for, if not candy?! Here’s another homemade Halloween candy-themed treat that will bring your party to a whole new level. Everyone loves the chocolate and caramel flavor of Twix, and now you can replicate it with our homemade Twix cookie pops recipe! Stick these sweets into a pumpkin for the cutest presentation at your table and watch them disappear.
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!
