No-bake, make-ahead Halloween Dirt Cups are a creepy dessert that kids and adults alike will love. This super simple treat is layered with pudding, cookies and candy.

Give ‘Em Pumpkin to Talk About With These Halloween Pudding Cups!

For many of us, dirt pudding brings on the childhood nostalgia. I didn’t have it at home, but I do remember it being offered as a birthday treat at school and parties.

If you’ve never had it, it’s layers of pudding (usually chocolate) and crushed up Oreo cookies. These ingredients provide the “dirt,” and then you can’t forget the gummy worms crawling out of the dirt!

I’ve spook-ified this classic dessert even more for these Halloween dirt cups.

This fun and colorful Halloween Salad is the best spooky side dish. With pepperoni bats, vibrantly colored tortellini and mozzarella cheese skulls, it’s also the most delicious!

This Spooky Pasta Salad Makes a Great Halloween Side Dish!

The internet has exploded with creepy recipes in the past few years (including at least 16 on this site alone), but one thing I don’t see much of is Halloween side dishes!

Right before trick-or-treating / passing out candy, I’ll usually serve an easy dinner like chicken meatballs or crockpot beef stroganoff, but it’d be more fun to have a spooky side dish with it, wouldn’t it?

Enter this fun and colorful Halloween salad recipe. With pepperoni bats, spooky tortellini and mozzarella cheese skulls, it’s delicious as a side dish before trick-or-treating.

When it comes to creating the Halloween food I’ve come to be known for, my goal is always to make things that TASTE as good as they look.

This seems obvious, but it’s not always the case with themed food recipes you’ll find online. A lot of them are designed to LOOK really cute (or creepy), but the flavor was clearly an afterthought.

What sets this Halloween Rice Krispie Treats recipe apart is my attention to FLAVOR detail, down to a few grains of salt. Yes, a pinch of salt balances the sweetness of the marshmallows and creates a more nuanced flavor.

The taste and texture of these adorable treats will make them a standout addition to your spooky celebration.

Halloween Cupcakes don’t have to be hard! Grab a box mix and a disposable piping bag, and you’re well on your way to these spooky and delicious zombie brain cupcakes.

While most of my Halloween desserts err on the side of cute, not creepy, the holiday IS all about being at least a little frightened, right?

These easy Halloween cupcakes are just the right amount of ick, and definitely the best amount of yum. While they look admittedly kind of gross, once the first party-goer tries one, they’ll spread the word to everybody else about how tasty they are.

Because at their core, these are simply strawberry cupcakes topped with buttercream and drizzled with strawberry syrup.

So preheat your oven, we’ve got brain cupcakes to make!

I love Halloween food, but I don’t always love spending a ton of time on Halloween food. Let’s face it: I also have a costume to figure out and pumpkins to carve!

Nothing beats the unabashed cuteness of these Halloween Cake Pops for a party, but the big secret here is these are as easy to make as they are to eat.

Instead of starting completely from scratch, we’re using store-bought donut holes as the base, which cuts down on the prep time and effort considerably.
