MAKE IT CUTE

Whether your Halloween party vibe is cute or creepy, you'll need to stock up on some *spooktacular* treats. Look no further for the ultimate recipe guide that will have your guests cackling over your ingenious scary snacks (no plain old candy apples here)! There's no trick to making these treats, so take some extra time to work on that killer costume after you whip these up.

Hot Dog Mummies

These yummy mummies are absolutely adorable. They are a crafty take on pigs in a blanket—but instead of blankets, think bandages! These yummy snacks are perfect for your Halloween bash—they are super easy to make and only take 30 minutes total. And the good news? They taste just as scrumptious as they look. Plus, who doesn't love hot dogs? (Pro tip: If you are vegetarian or vegan, you can substitute the hot dogs for a meatless version.)

Halloween Rice Krispy Treats 

Rice Krispy Treats are already a crowd fave—and this recipe spices up a classic! We love this recipe because they are *so* much fun to make. You could even dedicate a portion of your party to preparing them! (Ofc, you and your besties will have *tons* of fun dyeing the marshmallows green and purple.) Customize these tasty treats by adding cute candy spiders, candy corn or even candy pumpkins.

Ghost Donuts 

These supernatural sweets are a great dessert option that will get you and your friends into the Halloween "spirit." And take it from us: they're just as great to make as they are to eat. Using pre-made biscuit dough makes this recipe a cinch, and you can fry up the ghosts quickly. Powdered sugar gives the donuts their ghostly hue and sweetens the deal.

Mac-O-Lantern and Cheese Bowls

There's nothing scary about this entrée—and your guests will *love* it. Mac and cheese is a total classic, and adding the pepper bowl adds an extra pop of color with a healthy touch! You'll def need this meal before digging into all of that Halloween candy later.

Spider Web Guacamole and Chips

Everyone agrees that guac and chips are a magical combo. Make it extra festive by turning the guac into a spider web (with some sour cream, natch)! A funky olive spider or two will be a perf addition to your dip. Your friends will snack on this all night while you binge-watch scary movies. Our fave spooky tip? Have some extra chips on hand for a quick refill. Happy snacking!
